SCHOOLS EMPHASIZE
FOOD CONSERVATION
In Cambria County Production
and Saving Keynote of Every
Branch

Mrs. Charles Lea. chairman of the COM
mittee on food conservation and home
nomics with the Council of National Defense.
has found that the schools of Cambria Coun-
ty. Pa. teach food conservation with every
lesson.
The students have thus gained an appre-
citation of the need for increasing the food
output and avoiding waste that Would put
many older folk to shame. Food conserva-
ton work is the motive in every branch
taught the students
Miss Matilda Krebs, principal of the Johns
town High School, assisted by Miss Cooper,
director of primary work. has installed
system by which every class and children OF
all ages learn the relation of foods
For instance, instead of the prosac teach
ing of geography it is exploited in text
books, production in relation to climate lati-
tude and longitude is the fundamental on
which study us based.
These are built around the same general
subject drawing is taught with fruits, meats
and vegetables. and no longer does still life
mean boxes vases and such futile objects.
In every grade of elementary and high
school the relation of foods has Nitallzed the
work. and in Cambria County Mrs. Lea finds
the influence far-reaching since 1t extends
from the children direct into all homes.
