Six Million
Receive School
Lunches in l945

School lunches were served g.
655, 45S white and colored youngs-
tiers in 43,480 schools last year, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
reports.
The Federal Government contri-
buted $47.S44,O00 toward the
lunches. and it. is estimated that
local communities contributed the
equivalent of S76,OOOOO0. Total ex-
penditures amounted to about $18
per pupil for the year.
Under the new School Lunch
Act, the States are required at the
outset to share $3.50 in the pro-
gram. Service and equipment in
lieu of cash may represent the
States share. In 1915 the average
local contributions amounted to
$3.50 for every dollar contributed
by the Federal Government
The five states that led in the
enrolment of pupils in the COM
munity school lunch program last
year were: New York, 537, 500 pu-
pills; South Carolina, 386,593 pupils;
Texas. 375,200; Georgia, 342379; and
Illinois, $4,000 pupils.
Thirty-eight States and Hawaii
up to now have signed agreements
to take advantage of the new
School Lunch Act.
The first school lunch program
on record was startedkin Munich,
Germany, in 1890, one year after
George Washington became Presi-
dent of this young Republic. In
France, the school lunch movement
started in 1849, and in England, in
1902.
AS early as 1853, school lunches
were served in New York, but the
federal school lunch program was
begun in 1885. In 1894, Philadelphia
began program of feeding pupils
in elementary schools. In the South,
Mrs. Dora Gordon, a colored school
teacher of Jefferson County, Geor-
gia, was first to launch such a pro-
gram. She began serving her pupils
free MONDAY lunches in 1925.
