. The pupils enter at a door In tha
wast and of tha room and pass tnalda
a railing, picking up aa they enter a
email tray and napkin from a- pile that
atanda Just Inside tha door. They pass
along the oounter selecting what they
waet, getting a ticket for the amount
at the and of tha counter, where they
pasa on to ona of the tables. The ta
bles, stools and other furniture are of
that old mission style that adds an at
tractive and artlstio appearance to the
room which would be rather "barny"
with light furnishings. Each table ac
commodates about 20 young people, and
as they fathered around these tables
about 200 boys and girls all with good,
healthy appetites and plenty of healtnful
food to sstlsiy tnem, it wouia do nsra
to Imagine a finer slgnt.
i Tha matter that Interested the com
tnittee most, next to the character of
the food provided, was tna cnaracier oi

there was so much Individuality ais

ana .hose things that naturally harmon
ise, while others were utterly reckless
regarding the fitness of things, and it
was a regrettable tact mat tne gins
showed far lens judgment in tne se
lection of their food than the boys. AS
a ml. It was tha alrls who took the
plea and the cream puffs, and tha hoys
who took the soup and meat pies. Each
day the menu la changed, but the ona
given is a lair average.
But there were more things to learn
from this school .lunch than the kind
or food that is served or eaten, ana per
bans one of the most surprising was
tha anna and rapidity With Which this
large number or people was served ana
the fine conduct of the young people in
the rather trying position of waiting
their turn when tney were nungry ana
imnatlenUy noticing the very things

Not an unkind word was exchanged,
not a push, a shove or a rude act Just
a- well-behaved company of youthful
American citizens. Then - came the
social comradeship of tha meal, the
social relaxation under the most refined
and safe conditions not sitting In
pairs in obscure corners eating cold
lunches and enjoying unobserved tete-a-tetes,
but every surrounding calcu
lated to uplift and encourage the pupil.
Like all these things, however, they
must be in the hands of the right peo
ple and in the whole Bcheme of this
KChool lunch the refined personality and
parental care of Mr. and Mrs. Gage,
who have charge of it, is visible. Few
Infractions have occurred among tha
pupils during the lunch, and at yet those
that have have needed only the gentle
word or kindly act to aet them right
train.
VVnilO aa yet in roruana mm icnuui
lunch Is in but an experimental stage.
If It proceeds as the committee of club
women found It beginning, Its fu

mothers ahould not depend wholly upon
tha report of a committee; they ahould

RS. SHERWOOD, the enthusiastic
chairman of the traveling art
galleries-"8f the General Federa
tion, haa Just written the following re
port for the Keystone, the club or
gan for most of the southern states.
The traveling galleries are making a
great record this year. The art com
mittee have three in the field. The
third one was placed in our hands by
the Chicago Water Color club Decem
ber 1, and is a fine collection of 45
paintings. This gallery is now in Wis
consin, the western gallery in Missouri,
and the eastern gallery In Florida. If
you would kindly give this route In the
next Keystone I believe it would be
helpful to. the eastern clubs. This east
ern gallery is the finest we have ever
sent out It will pass through South
Carolina early in January, visiting four
towns, then to North Carolina, Virginia,
ueiaware, Pennsylvania, west Virginia,
and Kentucky, where 28 towns have
asked for tha gallery, though I feel
sure that the time will not permit of
so many, and we hope that several
towns will be able to combine and hold
tha exhibition together in Kentucky.
The last stopping place is Ohio, reach
ing Chicago the first of Jutffe. The
paintings will then be turned to the
artists who have kindly leaned them.
