consideration in many parts of the
state is shown by the fact that a con-
siderable number of schools are serv-
ing at least one hot dish to supple
ment the cold lunch brought by the
childen. However, the serious need Of
the hot lunch is realized by compare
lively few persons.
Under average conditions, rural
school children in Kentucky follow a
daily program that makes it neces-
sary for them to get along on little
more than two meals a day. AS a rule
they have breakfast at about o'clock
in the morning and by recess time are
hungry enough to eat most the lunch
which they have brought from home.
What may be left after recess is in
sufficient for the noon lunch with the
result that they go home hungry about
o'clock to eat another lunch that
leaves them without any appetites for
the evening meal No man is willing
20 work on less than three full meals
day. School children, therefore, who
are growing and studying can hardly
be expected to do their best work on
two meals q day
Perhaps the first requirement for
starting a hot school lunch in any
school is an active organization OF per-
sons interested in the welfare of the
hildren that can superintend the pro-
iect. This may be parent-teachers
association, community club or a
group of farm women. The teacher OF
the school should naturally be a sup
porter Of the project since she should
be interested enough in her pupils to
see that they are kept fit physically.
Complete details dealing with
starting school lunch, financing the
project, the equipment necessary, 10
suggested lunches and more than a
score of recipes are given in extension
