years salary, and will enter into
Contract for another year at salary
Director Evans Hughes informed
the board that William M. tones liv-
ing at the head Of Glenwood avenue,
told him that he had an abundance
of good Guernsey milk that he would
be glad to furnish the board at a
rate of sixteen cents per quart ID
be used by the board to ration the
under nourished children with.
Director w. A. Beach said that he
thought that the movement recently
started by the Parent and Teacher
association Of the Union school, IN
giving the under nourished boys and
girls a certain amount of milk TO
drink at morning and afternoon re-
cess a good one. But he could not
see why Mr.. Jones should ask six
teen cents per quart for his milk
when the regular market price In
Mankato delivered to the door is but
eleven cents. Director Beach docs
Lot believe in the children being ra-
toned on milk from large tank.
He favors individual bottles, and
each child furnished with straw
with which to drink the milk.
Director Beach took occasion 20
differ from Director Hughes in that
he thought that Holstein milk from
the young cow to the aged amman
the world over is noted for the very
he admitted on Guernsey milk, but
sometimes this is too rich for the
delicate child stomach. The Holstein
milk is more evenly balanced. .
Guernsey Cow Champion
Director Hughes laughingly re-
marked that NARROW & Randall, the
famous Holstein breeders or Man
hear the Holstein COW championed.
AS far as he was concerned let it
he Holstein or Guernsey, Jersey or
anv other good milk, just SO the
under nourished children get 1t. 1t

school, where Miss Abbie Peters,
the visiting school nurse, is making
observations as to the weight OF the
children, when the ration is COM
menced and then at the end OF eacn
month.
Superintendent Selle stated that a
great many OF the schools through
out the country are taking up the
matter of giving under nourished
children milk at the morning and ar
ternoon recess.
Director Beach said that no one
should labor under the impression
that all of the under nourished
children are among the poor classes.
There are JUDI do u1dhy uhuCA -nOuI
ished children among the well to do
classes. This was caused by the fact
that mothers instead of looking af-
ter their own children, leave the
work of feeding them to servants.
