The hand of sturdy 9-year-old
boy waved eagerly as the teacher
jotted an algebraic equation on the
board.
Teacher, don't mean to be rude,
but if I'm not mistaken, you've made
an error in the fourth decimal place.
The should be an g.
The equation had nothing to do
with the lesson of the fifth grade
class, but the teacher had remarked
that an algebraic equation could be
applied at this point and the pupils
had pleaded to see it. Then the boy
spoke up to correct it. He was right.
That boy, and thousands of other
bright children, like him, represent
one of education's greatest prob
lems-the gifted child. The child
with the high 10. The child who
points out the teachers mistakes.
The child who does his work in half
the allotted time and uses the rest
to draw maps in his book. The child
whom the other kids call "Perfessor''
when he says something like this:
Il don't know whether there are
fairies in our woods or not, but there
are plenty of edible fungi"

Naming Of Group
To Make Survey
BY MRS. HENRY GRATTAN
DOYLE,
President Roard of Education


The United States is becoming
more "food-minded" every day. My
diet" is supplanting my operation"
as favorite subject of conversation.
Older men and women are re-
ceiving instruction from doctors in
the proper use of food to correct
many ills, to make living more en-
joyable, to reduce weight or to gain
weight. Improper eating habits,
firmly intrenched. have to be broken
and new and better habits learned.
Men and women are anxious to
learn food values and helpful diets,
as may be seen through the many
nutrition classes that are springing
up everywhere.
Thus the time seems appropriate
for consideration of the program
in the public schools in nutrition.
Extensive curriculum revision, still
under way, will place greater en-
phasiS on the study of nutrition, 1t
is to be hoped. Possibly nutrition
classes might be a part of the high
school or teachers college program.
The home economics departments
are doing splendid work in home
making classes and in the vocational
schools, but they do not, of course,
reach the entire junior and senior
high school student body.
Cafeterias Give Opportunity.
1t is in the cafeteriaS of the senior
and junior high schools that the
greatest opportunity is offered to
guide the entire student body, boys
and girls, into proper nutritional
habits.
Cafeterias in the schools are doing
a splendid job in providing good,
wholesome food at low cost to the
boys and girls. have never had

loaf more tasty than that which
I have eaten at the Dennison Voca-
tional School, or lemon meringue
pie that could equal that which I
have had at the Roosevelt High
School-to mention but few. But
it is possible that cafeterias may
make an even greater contribution
as an educational force. Children,
led into good food habits, will take
the lessons home. Parent-teacher
organizations can use the lesson
of the cafeteria for nutrition
teaching.
Should food conservation become
necessary, school cafeterias can
make a contribution not only by
serving food substitutes properly
prepared for nutritive value, but
they can be helpful in bringing the
necessary information into the
home.
