A Happy Course in
Playing and Eating

After the pupils are thus voluntarily
enlisted, each child is given a brown
notebook entitled, "Record Book of Meas
ured Feeding" by William r. P. Emer-
son, NJ. D., in which each child is asked
to write just exactly what he eats every
day. few simple rules are given for
recording quantities of food by the cup
or tablespoonful
Until the work on the books is done
no individual problems can be attacked,
but there are certain blank rules that
apply to all underweight children. These
sound very simple to the parent of any
we'll brought up child, but are important
for these children chiefly because of the
unanimity with which they are disobeyed
under the ordinary conditions of their
lives.
Rule 1-Underweight children must
not play too hard.
Rule 2-Underweight children should
have hot meal at noon.
Rule 3-Underweight children should
have rest period after luncheon.
Rule 4-Underweight children should
have a lunch in the middle of long
afternoon.
Rule 5-Underweight children should
be kept clean and happy.
1t is easy to see that obedience to
these rules cannot injure any child. The
establishment Of this much routine is
only the matter of a few days. The
coLon1 10
ings from till IL are spent in free
play under a supervisor supplied by the
Board of Education in a shaded court
yard of the big public school. A hot
lunch is delivered in heated and cooled
containers at IL o'clock by the big cooked
food plant of the Association for I'm
proving the Condition of the Poor. The
children pay cents each for this meal.
After lunch, during. which conversa
ton and slow eating are encouraged,
there are a few moments of play and
then the rest period. For half an hour
all rest and many of them sleep. Then
faces and hands are washed and quiet
occupations follow, suited to the ages of
the groups. There is singing and story
telling, reading and knitting, table games
and cooking classes. Every child has a
chance to choose, and is only interrupted
by the call to afternoon refreshments.
In spite of the hearty midday meal,
o'clock finds almost all of the children
ready to partake of the crackers and
milk. Two glasses of milk apiece is the
ration. At first this seems too much, for

mixture. Serve garnished with parsley.

For the corn cookery Allow two large
or three small ears to person. Husk
and silk them carefully, then tie them in
cheesecloth squares, six or eight ears
in square, then drop them into boiler
of fast boiling water; do not add salt,
as that makes them tough. Boil for from
eight to ten minutes, lift and drain, then
lay the ears on the grating of the gas
broler under the full flame and turn as
rapidly as they roast, using two long
forks for the purpose. Sprinkle with
salt, butter lightly and serve at once
To hasten matters, an extra grill can be
laid over the gas holes on top and raised
on bricks or blocks two or three inches
above the flame, and the ears will roast
perfectly there. The whole thing is
easily and quickly done. If any of the
corn is to be held back for late guest

Competition in
Weight Gaining

As soon as the facts are obtained
chart is made for each child, showing in
a graphic manner the weight and height
at the beginning of the course and the
goal to be obtained. Each week the child
is weighed and measured on the same
day and his gain or loss recorded on his
chart. Great is the JOY of the children
who see their weight line going up The
effect on children whose weight goes
down is that they catechize the nurse
for the reason and viii not themselves

of the class method, where competition
is played up as a healthy stimulus

to refer to hers as a treat" the nurse
had given her In another mother who

Well Fed but
Still Under Weight

The other group of children, those
who seem to be eating enough but are
still seriously under weight, present an
other problem, and one which has baffied
many an intelligent and educated parent
The group Of doctors working here say
that in each Of these cases there is a
cause, and if you hunt long enough it
will come to light. SO the next step
with these children is thorough physi-
cal examination, leaving no stone I'M
turned in the search.
These examinations in the school Of
health have just begun, but experience
elsewhere has shown that various causes,
from chronic appendicitis to heart
LESSONS, may be the cause of malnutrition.
The most frequent cause which comes to
light, however is bad throat Adenoids

weight should consume The notebooks
show that many children are getting
grlevously less than they require, more
often from ignorance and lack of ap-
petite than from poverty Other chill
dren equally under weight are getting
enough as far as quantity is concerned.
These offer two different types of prob
lem:
The first group, those who are not
eating enough, are visited at home and
talked with at school and shown how
gradually to increase their rations each
day. Many practical suggestions are
given as to how this can be done In
the record book is fair example of how
a diet may be raised in caloric value
without great change in food habits.
If an egg is taken for breakfast, to
scramble rather than boil it adds $50
calories of milk and butter To substi-
tute cocoa for milk adds another $50.
Thus one meal may be increased 800
calories by merely taking little trouble
and understanding how to do it.
The school lunch consists of not less
than 500 calories every day, and supple
ments the home meals while the mothers
and children are learning the meaning
and values of various kinds of food.
Children of eight years and upward can
easily learn the measuring Of food in
calories and what it means. This is not
merely theory, but has proved to be true
in other places Children of nine and
ten talk quite freely and accurately in
scientific terms once they really com
prehend their meaning, and an added
dignity is bestowed on the whole diet
question.

Every mother in the city should have
her child weighed and measured and
