Prepared at School.
Even better than carrying lunch,
from many points of view, Is a lunch
con suited to the children's needs,
served at cost in school. and so super
vised that the choice of food and the
manner in which it is eaten, have an
educational value in teaching children
why good food makes difference. and
in giving some of the less fortunate
ones some of the poise and enjoyment
which may be derived from meal
which is social as well as physlolog-
ical function.
The child is fortunate who has
something hot at noon. In some
schools the school cafeteria affords
choice of several hot dishes, and in
many schools cocoa or a hot soup Is
provided every day. Mothers clubs,
parent-teacher associations or inter-
ested individuals often help to make
this possible.
A cupful of hot chocolate, or of
soup, will taste very good at noon to
the growing boy or girl when cooler
weather comes. 1t is simple matter
to provide this with the aid of a small
thermos bottle. Some days put cocoa
in the bottle, other days make 1t a
cream or a vegetable soup, or meat
broth.
Good School Lunch.
It contains milk, about a cupful in
some form, because if milk is omitted
at noon the necessary quart of milk a
day can seldom be taken.
1t contains a hot dish. especially
during cool weather. since this re-
lieveS fatigue, promotes good digestion
and encourages high food intake. A
hot dish may. of course. include the
milk mentioned above, either in
soup, a cooked main dish, a pudding,
or a hot beverage, such as matted
cocoa, or cocoa or cereal beverage.
1t furnishes sufficient energy (calo-
ries) to approximate one-third or
more of the days requirements. This
will be not less than 400 calories for
the lunch of a flrst-grade girl, and
may be higher than 1900 calories for
a high-school boy.
