tigue and keep blood sugar levels at
normal during the entire morning.
Furthermore, the findings indicate
that the beneficial effects of the high
protein breakfast on the blood sugar
level may even extend into the
afternoon.
Breakfast might seem to be the
one meal with the least variety,
situation which is not necessary. The
menu should include fruit, cereals,
eggs or meat, bread and beverage.
Citrus fruits are preferred, either
fresh or canned. Cereals are long
great variety in them. Served with
sugar and cream or milk, food values
are added. Eggs need not be mo-
notonous b ecause they may be
poac e d, fried, scrambled, soft
cooked or made into an omelet.
Bacon, ham, sausage or fish are the
usual breakfast meats. The breads
include rolls, mullins with many
variations, besides hot cakes and
popovers. Beverages are coffee and
milk, chocolate or cocoa for young
folks.
There is no excuse for breakfast
being an uninteresting meal, because
it can be the most satisfying meal

An Editorial

ONE OF OUR national nutritional
problems is the skipping of break
fast or eating only skinny one. 1t
is certainly an anomalous situation.
Here in land of plenty of food, the
problem is to get adults, as well as
children, to eat the first meal of the
day, while across the ocean the prob
lem is hunger.
The old New England breakfast
included potatoes and meat and
ended with pie. The family gathered
around the table and it started the
day off in a regular way. Today
breakfast in too many homes is on
the fly, a cup of coffee and toast or
a glass of fruit juice, which is not
enough to carry any person to the
noon meal.
Breakfast actually breaks a fast
which the body has had for twelve
or more hours. After such lengthy
period, a supply of energy is needed
for a good start on the day. From
one-fourth to one-third of the daily
food requirements should be in
cluded in the first meal of the day,
and this means part of the daily pro-
tein needs (meat, milk and eggs.
Extensive studies made by the
Bureau of Human Nutrition, United
States Department of Agriculture,
have established the fact that break
fasts which are high in protein give
a sense of well-being, ward off ia

a fast team of horses. Many others
were not so lucky as we.
The word of the Opening" was
quickly passed around from ranch
to ranch, as the school board would
usually meet at a certain home and
then, after partaking of fine Sun
day dinner, they would adjourn to
the parlor and take up the weighty
matter of the school.
Locate a Teacher
Everyone would try to locate
school teacher, for this was our most
serious problem. Then a cleaning
''bee" would gather and the school
house would be cleaned and scrubbed
and shining as to floor and windows.
The big spring too would be re-
dug and cleared out so that we
could have an abundance of clean,
fresh water for the children. A
sparkling creek ran directly through
the horse corral and though this was
fine for the horses it did cause trou-
BILE for the teachers. Often we would
have a few boys who would come in
at recess, soaking wet.
Sometimes a hurried late-comer
would carelessly forget and leave
the gate open, allowing the horses
to get out into open country and
head for the foothills. This was a
terrible calamity, as many children
had come great distance and now
would be far from home and afoot
unless the animals were rounded up
before closing time arrived. In such
an emergency the entire school was
let out to run in" the horses.

in those earlier times many prob
lens had to be solved just as we
must solve them now.
In our day the ranch holdings
were much larger and this meant
that families were separated by DIS
lance. There was no rural electricity
and no telephones from ranch to
ranch. No cars either or buses for
our children to ride into a town
school. We children rode horseback
to a school good distance from our
ranch home in the Highwood noun
tains, and it was then known as the
Upper Arrow Creek school.
Home in Winter
Mother, of course, always taught
as children during the cold winter
months, but along about April Is,
the weather permitted us to start
our school term. The severe biz
gard conditions and our scattered
communities were the two factors
which determined the school term.
Many of the older children in fam
lilies would be able to drive the
younger ones to school in the family
buggy, and many like us rode on
horseback.
You may be sure we looked for
ward to the opening of school with
great eagerness, as all children
missed the companionship of the
rest during our months of isolation.
However, as often as weather per-
mitted, my parents would take us
children visiting around the neigh
borhood, and often we went to Belt
OF TO Great Falls in the buggy with

IN the Days MAen the Esaehe, Hon,dsd Round

MANY. PERSONS are perplexed
and deeply concerned over the prob
lens to be solved in order to i'm
prove the conditions of our local
schools. Their minds are filled with
such troublesome expressions as
bonding petitions" ''state income
and interest funds" "apportion-
ments," prepared budgets" "defi-
ciencies in cost reserves" and bar
rel of other troublesome school
problems of the present day.
We are prone to forget the Won
derful accomplishments we have
achieved. This marvellous advance
ment in the field of education has
been made in spite of many almost
insurmountable obstacles. History, I
feel, will repeat itself, and our
schools of today and of tomorrow
will overcome current difficulties
and will emerge far better and finer
institutions of learning.
For a moment let us put aside the
problems of the year 1858. Let us
glance back across the years, for we
have indeed come a long, long way.
Again I hear the joyous laughter of
the children who ronped and
played, who struggled with the
three RS and who rode each morn
ing with shining faces to the little
country school.
Our parents of that period en-
countered great difficulties in the
building of these schools, securing
text books and finding teacher
who would consent to teach even
our short term of April to Septem-
Der. Montana is a large state ano

In most districts the teacher was
held in high esteem and was given
every respect. Ours was such one.
However, there were some districts
which had an even greater problem
than we in locating a teacher as
their reputation was known far and
wide. I recall one of these over the
ridge, where the boys were so big
and so tough that no mere woman
would ever attempt to handle them,
so none ever applied for or accepted
the position. However, some years
later a schoolmaster arrived who,
upon the first day of school, cleaned
house" and thus tanned them for all
time.
Local Talent Not Success
Occasionally some neighbor girl
would return from schooling in the
city and decide to get her teaching
experience by first taking over our
district These local teachers were
not as successful as one might sup
pose, as we took an unfair advan-
tage of her friendship and learned
very little. We were not disciplined.
Some times we were very lucky,
as a teacher would arrive who would
teach out an entire term, but these
were exceptions. They were usually
the good looking girls who would
become very popular with the local
SWANS and then we would have
dances several times week down
at the school.
Often these were box socials and
we children were always delighted
and part of all these festivities.
