PARENTS VOTE ON CAFETERIA AT H.S.
Letters With Return Cards for
 Opinion Received Today

Parents of pupils at the Senior high school received in today's mail, 8 communication from the school de- partment and q post card on the back of which they are expected to vote either for or against the installation of cafeteria in the high school.
 It will cost approximately s5,o00 to fit up the cafeteria and this amount if the proposal is favored, will be placed in the school department budget and will come out of taxation. It is expected that simple and whole some lunches will he provided pupils at cost, although the privileges of the lunch room will be equally available for pupils who prefer to bring their lunches from home. It is expected that the luncheon service would be self sustaining as far as cost is con cerned. aside from interest charges on the original cost of installation. The cost of lunches would range from Is to 30 cents.
 The principal reason being urged in favor of luncheon service is that it will permit such changes in. time schedules that the school day conlo be closed an hour earlier than under the present schedule, thes chool day ending at 3:i5 o'clock, instead of A;ls c o'clock as at present.
