PUBLIC SCHOOLS
SERVE HOT LUNCH
TO GRADE PUPILS
Seventy Children Enjoy Hot
Cocoa And Soup Every
Noon
AND THE PRICE
is AWAY DOWN
Two Pennies Buys Steaming
Hot Bowl Served In
Style

Seventy children of the public schools
are now enjoying the benefit of hot
lunches every noon. For a long time
the plan to serve something warm to
the pupils who bring their midday
lunch to school has been contemplated
and when the winter term began the
plan was put into effect
A special room has been fitted up for
this purpose on an upper floor equip
ped with tables made by the manual
training department and each noon the
20 children who are unable to go home
for the noon meal go to the mess hall
with their lunches from home where
they can eat together from clean, new
tables. Under the supervision of Miss
Lena Woods, second grade teacher, the
children are served hot cocoa and hot
soup for the small sum of TWO cents a
bowl. Miss Woods has also arranged
so that some of the children who do
not have the pennies with which to buy
the hot portions can wash and wipe
dishes after the feast is over in pay
ment for their soup.
The plan is working out very success
fully though it has but 'just been in
augurated and the children are delight
ed with the arrangement these cold
winter days. The plan has been en-
couraged and fostered by the Educa-
ton department of the Womans club
and they have been of great assistance
to Miss Woods in getting the plan under
way. There are some additional things
needed in order to make the dining
room a model one These include oil
cloth for the tables and additional
dishes and the Education department
are to see that they are supplied
The idea OF serving hot lunches in
the public schools has become very
general and popular. throughout the
state during the winter months and is
found to be beneficial to the young
school boys and girls.
