Lunches Partly Or Wholly Prepared
at School
The basket lunch must usually be
prepared at time when the house
keeper is very busy. In places where
there are shops near the school,
therefore, children are sometimes
given pennies with which to buy food
at noon. They like this, of course,
for it is pleasure to make their
own selections and they are glad
to be relieved of carrying baskets.
If they could choose wisely there
would be no objection to this plan
and it might even be made good
training in handling money and
keeping accounts. In practice, how
ever, it is found that the money is
often spent in unclean places for I'M
wholesome foods; pickles and pies,
or, at best, starchy foods and sweets
are likely to make up the bill of
fare, and in this way the good effects
of careful feeding at home are likely
therefore, the schools are beginning
to serve noon lunches or one or two
dishes which can be eaten with food
brought from home.
Mothers are interesting themselves
in this work not only because of it's
effect upon the health of their child
rem but also because of its relation
to education for home making. In
their own homes they try to serve
wholesome food and also to train
their children to good habits in eat
ing. They realize however, that the
meal at school is in some ways a
better opportunity for training than
those served at home. Unlike the
other meals of the child's day, it is
aaten during the hours which are set
apart for education. The child's
mind is, therefore, in a receptive
and every precaution
which is taken to adapt the lunch
to his physical and mental needs Is
likely to teach a lesson in food and
silently, TO be sure, but
effectively. Mothers recognize. there
fore. that the lunch at school may
be of assistance to them in one of
their special tasks. They are recog-
nizing, too, that the preparation and
serving of lunches at school may
improve the quality of teaching in
home economics. Instruction in
cookery as an art is, Of course, most
given where there is a
large supply of food materials and
of utensils to work with and where
the work itself is done with some
useful and practical purpose in view.
The lunch at school may, therefore,
be considered a means of strength
ening the courses in cookery and al
lied subjects. In many places it has
already been introduced and is prov
ing valuable in many ways.
