BOARD OF EDUCATION
TO PROVIDE LUNCHES
Food to Be Served at Cost in
Certain Schools.

The Board OF Education yesterday au-
thorized the equipment and operation of
a school lunch system providing children
with food at cost In selected schools
throughout the city. Some of the MEM
bers insisted that the reports of under
nourishment had been greatly exagger-
ater but they were faced with the nat
refusal OF the New York Lunch Associa-
ton to finance the work any longer.
Aiming s. Prall. president Of the board.
offered the resolution and obtained Its
adoption. He said the board would CO.
operate with the Department of Health
in providing physical examinations for
the pupils and that scales would be In
stalled in school buildings for. weight
tests. Education in food values Ia to be
extended to parents associations. The
New York Lunch Association has been
trying for more than a year to get the
board to take over the work
Commissioner Wilsey reported that he
was having some trouble in carrying out
the school building programme because
Of the desire of some contractors to OBJ
tain release from contracts because Of
increased cost of labor and material.
President Prall laid the blame on the
slowness of the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment In delaying action on es-
Inmates submitted for approval
The board voted to relieve the con-
tractors OF their obligations, and Presi-
dent Prall promised to take the matter
up with the Board of Estimate.

At the Spencer Square.

A charming picture, a typical
Mary Pickford story, written by
Edith Delano and directed by John
B. O'Brien, is "Hulda From Hol-
land" which will be presented at
the Spencer Square next Saturday
with a morning and afternoon per
Torrance under the auspices of the
Parent Teachers association and it
will surely beya treat for the school
children of the city. The story Is
that of a Dutch girl who comes TO
the country and finds ultimate hap
piness. In the development of the
theme, enc of love and self-denial,
a kitten, three little boys, three old
men, "a haTd-hearted father and a
sweetheart are employed.
Hulda is a delightful characteri-
cation, and she has several oppOr-
tunities for the display of excellent
comedy as we'll as pathos. There is
an abundance of human interest, IN
creased in it's scope by reason of
the wide range in the ages of the
principals, the children, and two
lovers, the middle aged father and
the old uncle.
Frank. Losee is John Walton, a
business man who loses his temper
over his sons fondness for ketchlns
to the detriment of his law studies.
John Bowers is Allen, the son, WHO
becomes an artist with iH-success
until he sketches Hulda and lands
a magazine story which figures
much in the story. Russell Bassett
is the Dutch uncle.
