HOT LUNCH AT
KNOX CO. SCHOOL
Pike Township School Only
One In County Serving
1u Lunch To Pupils
PLAN HAS BECOME
VERY POPULAR
Miss Penhorwood, Til e
Teacher, Tells OF Her Plan
To The Daily Banner

Up at Pleasant Hall school In Pike
township, Knox county, they serve
hot lunch each school day to the
scholars.
The hot lunch system has become
exceedingly popular in this school
and is attracting much attention all
over Knox county.
Today The Daily Banner obtained a
very interesting interview with the
teacher of this school, Miss Agnes
Penhorwood.
To The Banner Miss Penhorwood
stated:
Like all rural schools we had very
little equipment to start hot lunch.
"One October afternoon after hav.
ing presented an afternoon program,
l requested the mothers to stay for
while for little talk. 1t was then
that presented my plan. The moth
ers were very much pleased and we
decided that every child should bring
his or her own bowl, spoon, few
knives and forks and cups.
I'VE had at that time SO in the
school treasury. or this sum $2.65
went for an aluminium bucket and
dipper; so cents for a white oil cloth
to put on the table donated by one
of the parents.
"As ! said before, we had very lit.
tie equipment. A cupboard where
library boks were kept and a high
coal stove were all we had.
I'VE removed the books from the
cupboard and made 1t sanitary. The
dishes were then placed in this.
I'VE had few large, heavy past
board boxes. These we use to keep
the vegetables in. One lady gave us
large tin lard can for bread and
crackers. Dish towels galore were
donated.
81 have but one girl whom I can
depend upon, so l see about most of
the cooking myself and prepare the
vegetables for soup in the morning.
"The children wash the dishes and
! take care of the towels and oversee
placing the dishes in the cupboard
in an orderly way.
"Now for our menus-For the first
week we had:
"Monday--Cream tomato soup.
| Tuesday-Potato soup with rivu-
let's.
"Wednesday soup.
"Thursday-Bean soup.
"Friday--Beef stew and dumping.
do not think that soup is all we
have. Thoughtful mothers send us
salads, puddings, cookies and other
goodies to fill in.
There are eleven whom we serve
every day and this Is the amount that
runs us week. One half peck of po
tatoes, pound of butter (every other
week. pound of sugar (every other
week) pound of flour (every other
week, loaf of bread, four pounds OF
crackers, one pound of rice, one head
of cabbage, two quarts of whole milk
one pound OF soup beans, three pints
of strained tomatoes.
''The beef is donated by the par
ents about twice each week.
This makes only two or three ar
ticles to the family.
II find the children do better work
and the mothers tell me it is much
cheaper than to pack the lunches.
"This way the children get onl,
nourishing things and pie and cake
are eliminated from lunch to large
degree"
