School Lunches.
Growing children have special
needs in the way Of food. They must
be supplied with that which is neces-
sary. for health and strength, also
they must be given that which is nee
essary for development. It is not
easy to make food attractive and to
keep it clean when it must be packed
and carried in lunch basket. Nor
is it easy to prepare meals IN places
like schools which are not specially
fitted for the purpose.
Take all three meals in considera-
ton. But the midday meal Of school
children often presents certain spe-
cial practical problems and demands
particular care and attention. The
choice of dishes is, under circum-
satnces, limited and special care must
be taken to secure variety.
The essentials of the diet OF all
normal children are, Of course the
same-namely, an abundance Of SIM
ple foods carefully prepared and OF
sufficient variety to provide for the
activity, which in healthy children is
almost ceaseless during waking hours
and for development into healthy
manhood and womanhood. For this
reason the general subject OF food
will be discussed before the special
problem of the school lunches.
One of the chief practical food
problems is how to get good, whole
some clean bread. 1t has been shown
that cereals provide nearly one-thlrd
by weight of all the food eaten by
the American people and that they
supply nearly half of the protein
(commonly referred to as tissue
building materially and nearly two
thirds of the fuel or energy. Inc
greater part Of these cereals IS, OF
course, served in the form OF bread
of one kind or another. The quality
of the bread which is eaten, is there
fore, an extremely important consld-
Grafton.
The value Of milk in the diet OF
children is due not only to the TACT
that it contains a large number OF
nourishing substances, also seems TO
promote growth and help the body OF
the child to make good use OF other
foods. Milk is exceptionally rich IN
lime and it is practically Impossible
to make up diet containing enough
lime for growing child without US
ing it generously.
