IMPROVEMENT OF GRAND
MOUND ROAD IS STARTED
Residents OF District, Heretofore
Complaining of BAD Highways,
Begin to Take Hope.

There has been considerable COM
plant from this district over our
bad roads. This is no wonder in
view of actual conditions. Without
this time trying to ascertain the
causes, we claim that we represent a
long public. Most of us
have no airplanes but are forced to
use the common highways.
But even il we have been COM
planning, we will be equally quick to
acknowledge any visible betterment
in the road conditions. AS a matter
OF deep qualification we report that
some very creditable improvement
has been started on the road near
Grand Mound. If this is continued,
as we trust it will be, the residents
Of this district will again take hope.
We realize that the board of coun-
ty commissioners has to deal with
some very complex problems and
that it is impossible to please every
body. The vast amount of roads in
this county and the fast increasing
motor traffic presents new physical
and financial demands difficult to
meet all of sudden.

that he was ordered to stop but, not
hearing the command, proceeded,
with the result that shots were fired
and his car pierced by bullet about
six inches from his head. Assuming
that the shooting was done by some

CITIZENS IN GOOD WORK
Dormant Forces, in Nature and in
Humanity, May BE Efectually
Applied.

Dormant forces are found every
where in nature. Steam, electricity,
radio, the conclusive power in GER
tain matters, when scientifically
brought together, are some of the ex-
amples. Some of these dormant
forces have been discovered, not
created, within the present genera
ton, The great inventors found
them, brought them to light and har-
messed them for good or for evil
The same is true when applied to
human nature. Even here dormant
forces may be found everywhere.
Sometimes they are brought to light
and put into action for good by STIR
ring national or civic movement-a
good roads association, for instance
or maybe, by some movement
aiming at reform, but by indiscrimi-
nation becoming destructive. Men
who kill and murder might have be-
come great heroes if properly direct
ed.
The aim Of civic organizations
should be to unite for good, latent
human forces. Hence. wide-awake
citizens should consider it their duty
and privilege to cooperate in any
movement for community betterment
or for the proper unification of the
citizenry within the respective local
ity. We hold that to be true Amer
icanism.

(By Venia Merle Kellar.)

The proper feeding for the growing
child. and especially the child attend.
ing school has been a recognized
problem for many years. In the cities
the establishment of hot lunches
served at the noon hour has helped
greatly toward the solution OF this
problem. 1t will mean a great i'm
provement, both from q physical and
mental standpoint, to all pupils, when
the hot lunch can be served in all of
our rural schools.
An unwholesOme, improperly pre-
pared cold lunch is very poor sub
stitute for the hot nourishing meal
that the growing boy or girl needs at
the noon hour. It is quite necessary
that they be supplied with plenty of
good. clean, wholesome food, and food
that is easily digested. The less un-
necessary tax put upon the digestive
organs, the more energy they will
have to spare for mental work.
The mother who is interested in
the physical welfare of the child will
see that the lunch is composed of the
proper kind Of food and that it has
been prepared so as to be both whole.
some and appetizing.
Home Preparation.
The lunch should be so planned as
to be nutritious and satisfying, but
not too heavy. 1t should be packed in
a receptacle that can be easily carried,
that can be kept clean and properly
ventilated. A metal box or pail with
few small holes punched in the top
will permit sufficient ventilation.
Paper napkins, paper towels and par
atm paper can be purchased very
cheaply If bought in large quantities.
The rural school hot lunch can be
installed in any country school re-
CARELESS of small or large numbers
and soon justifes itself. The hot
lunch is intended to supplement, but
not to supplant, the lunch brought
from home. The serving of the hot
lunch has been tried with great sue
cess in many Of our schools, and pat
rons, pupils and teachers realize that
more effective work is done in the
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1919-11-21

In this way the mothers know better
what to put in the lunches.
The older girls. under the super
vision OF the teacher, prepare the
food. Ut is well for only two girls
to work at a timel. The girls should
be instructed to work quickly and
quietly 1t is q splendid mental drill
for them to carefully think out ex-
actly how they are going to proceed
with their work before beginning.
When food is ready to serve, each
desk. if used for table, should be
properly laid with clean napkin.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1919-11-21

plate, knife, fork, spoon and glass.
When lunch is ready, all are seated
at once and the general hot dish is
served at is quite essential that
the pupils be required to wash their
hands before eating). After lunch
the children are excused and the two
helpers for the day wash the dishes
and place them in the cupboard. The
crumbs are cleaned away, and all
evidences of the meal are out of
sight before school calls again. The
boys can take turns in the cleaning
up process as well as the girls.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1919-11-21

to make the lunch more attractive.
Each child should bring from home
a plate, a knife and fork, spoon,
in the cupboard throughout the year.
The plan that has been found best
in serving this hot lunch is for each
child TO bring from home his share Of
the food as the teacher directs, and
the apportionment should be kept as
uniform as possible. The teacher
makes out menu for a week in adj
vance and places it on the board for
the children to copy and take home.

THE RURAL SCHOOL LUNCH.

At the present time when it is so
necessary to develop to the greatest
degree, both physically and mentally
our boys and girls, the matter of the
hot school lunch for their midday
meal is worthy of consideration. 1t
has already been proven practicable
and beneficial in the city schools
where thoroughly tried out. and its
merits should be extended to the
schools of the rural communities.
