resulted in principal Dovid Nc
Duvid's preparing the following
written statement for the benefi'
of persons who have not beer
accurately, or fully informed.1
1t is true that the Lunch Room
program is a Government pro.
gram, but the Government does
not bear the expense of the entire
operation. OF course, the part
our United States government
plays is greatly appreciated, and,
if it were not for this Govern
ment aid, the lunch room could
not operate, but the reimburse
ment each lunch room receives
each month is a very meager sum
compared with the total cost of
operation.
Is Important
The Lunch room is consider
ed an important part of the school
program. Pupils are urged to take
their meals in the cafeteria, for
the school personnel feel that a
pupil will get a better balanced
meal. Naturally those who live
in town are expected to 60 home,
if they desire, but no pupil is
ever turned away from the cafe
terra. The menus are well
planned and are posted each
week where all pupils can see for
themselves what will be served
in the cafeteria each day.
The lunch room is not 9 pro-
fit-making business. In fact, the
Government would disapprove
an application, if that happened
to be the schools purpose, for
making application to operate a
lunch room. The welfare of the
is considered from every
angle, and, if there happens to
be any who are not getting the
proper food and are under
nourished, they are Immediately
lunches "free". The indivi-
iuals and different civic organi-
cations who have contributed
donations for the lunch room
program may rest assured that
heir donations have been given
O a great cause.
Served 1872 In September
The following should be of in
crest to all, particularly to those
Who have children in school and
hose who have made contribu-
ions to the cause of the lunch
DOM:
During the month of Septem-
Ter, 1884 pupils paid for lunches,
10 free lunches were served,
md 100 adults paid for lunches,
making a total of 1872 lunches
been served from Septem-
Ter 10, through September 80.
The Government reimburses at
he rate of nine cents per meal
each pupil-that is, each Class
A" meal served with sweet
oasteurized milk. The Lexington
Grammar school claim for Sep
was $15408, which was
not a third Of the actual cost OF
operation for the same length of
time. This should show the actual
help the Government gave, and
those who are inclined to believe
that the Government pays for the
operation of a school cafe
terra should lose their false ideas.
To give the public an idea of
the type of meals which are be-
ing served in the Lexington
