1t is doubtful if any state in the
union can make a better report than
West Virginia for food conservation
work in the schools. All schools
of West Virginia should have in
structions in the principles of food
conservation. This should include
Interpretation of food conservation
regulation. Instructions should be
given concerning the quality of sup
ply, amount of such foods and the
probable consumption. The food
problem is big one, not only in
war times, but in times of peace,
and every child should be taught the
proper uses of foods and the rela-
tive nutritious value of different
food products. The course of study
from which these suggestions are
taken were prepared after the Ma
tional Educational Association had
requested such course in a reso-
luton passed at the national meet
ing in Pittsburgh.

WEST VIRGINIA
SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING
FOOD CONSERVATION
Course of Study Is Outlined and APP.
proved by National Educa-
tional Association.

The schools and colleges through,
out the country are being asked by
the United States Food Administrar
ton to incorporate in their course
OF study instructions in the principles
OF food conservation. This course
was recommended by resolutions
passed by the National Educational
Association and have been approved
By Herbert Hoover, United States
food administrator All the leading
schools and colleges of West Vir
ginia have been asked to cooperate
in extending the school work, and
many of the schools already have
taken up the work actively. Eighty.
four of the high schools took up
these courses last year, according to
report to the food administration,
made by NJ p. Shawkey, state super
intendent of free schools, and he
further says that he believes that
every school that has teacher com
petent to do the work has done
mere or less of it.
WCot Va NCotGydh SOAlCSO
has also been teaching the food con-
servation in their department of
Home Economies. and w B. Flem-
ing, president of that institution, says
that their school will gladly CO.
operate TO the limit in the good work
which the food administration is
doing. Letters from C. B. Clark,
president Salem College. and G. A.
Tague, head of Morris Harvey Col
lege, also report that they will CO.
operate with the food administration
in this work

ing Larder.

London. Feb. 4.-William John
MacCaw. Unionist member of the
house of commons for West Down.
was ined 400 pounds sterling and 35
pounds sterling costs today for food
boarding.
Mr.. MacCaw was tried in the Oxted
Surrey, police court. According to tho
attorney for the food committee of
the Godstone division of Surrey. this
member of parliament had in his
larder at Rocksnest "a pounds OF
tapioca, 154 pounds of rice, SO pounds
OF seminola, 100 pounds of biscuits
% pounds of tea, 100 pounds of su-
gar "a pounds of golden syrup and
Il pounds of honey.
Although it was not contended
that people living in country houses
should come to London daily for
their supplies this stock of goods was
held to constitute hoard.
| Ihe case Of Mr.. MacCaw was one
of several hundred pending, while
many more have already been dispos
ed Of every class in the country be-
ing involved. Last week Admiral Sir
Richard Poore was fined 90 pounds
sterling for having in his possession
a quarter of a ton of food, while 9TH
ers who were fined included a rail-
road worker, a wealthy widow and
the proprietors of several hotels. the
last being charged with exceeding ths
official ration
AS a general rule the local magis-
trates infiict stiff fines but Baron
Rhondda, the food controller, is dis.
satisfied with this method of dealing
with boarding cases and besides con.
hscating the excess stores he has
pressed the magistrates to inflict i'm.
prisonment upon the guilty in cases
of systematic boarding.
