BARTON 171 South Commercial Street LUNCHES CHEAP AND PALATABLE i Domestic Science Classes Get Practical Experience Operating Cafeterias With meals purchased, planned and served by girls in the domestic science departments the high schools of the city are working out a p-ae- tical and economic method vt operat ing cafeterias. The fact is the teach ers are killing two birds with one tone for, while students and teach ers dine, the girls learn the details of managing a large kitchen. Miss Elsie Casper, who is the in structor at the Washington Junior high, in explaining the plan carica out there, said that the operation of the cafeteria is left entirely In the hands of the ninth A students, who work InCtwo groups, spending an hour and a half in the kitchen each u.iy. Each has a definite dish to prepare, some plan the mcl or crder and care for the supplies. Me nus are made up by the girls, who alto handle the bookkeeping and the meney taken In. An average of $75 - r " montlli Pas3e through their daily at a cost in the neighborhood of S4. ;. . . Girls in other grades in the school who are taking cooking prepaid cer tain dishes for the cafeteria. &all amounts are absolutely taboD i aod they cook in large quantities or not at an.. . At nron the ninth g-aders do lh. serving, scrape, the traya and wash tushes, rotating so that each hrs oce specified duty each week. Fairly elaborate concoctions are served anl the evoking ra not unattractive to the pajate. The menu usually ea-i slsts of coup, cocoa. aandwliA. milk, , desert, salad and a vecstible.

Child Early spring days bring forth an aounaance or material for use in the art departments of the public schools. The work is riot necessarily confined to picture making and it Is a mistak en idea that; is abroad that the work is Intended to make artists of the children, for . only one In . several thousand may have the gift of gen ius and this gift would develop nn- aer .anjr circumstances. More stress is laid on the. cultiva tion 'of good taste, an appreciation at good pictures, a love of the beauti ful and the ability to see the beau ties; of .nature. In the study of birds their helpfulness to man is discussed. Children are encouraged to build bird houses, to put out food and string. for the nests. Instead of seeing-in every bird a target for the ling shot, the child Is , taught to love his. feathered friends. - Again in the study of flowers and spring growths, these are made to term - a basis for decorative art as well as to acquaint the child with the harmonious colors. This knowledge is.lntendedto give him a greater joy m living in nature's environment. At the Garfield school, where Miss Ocle K. Brown is instructor in art. much interest was shown during the past week In working out "convention al designs from the butterfly. The motif was first sketched, then cut And drawn ready to paint. While the children worked the story of the life of the winged creature was read to them. s Much variety Is brought Into the class Toom.For lastnnc. at intervals- some, good pictdre is studied In or der, that an appreciation of the mas terpieces may be. instilled in the mind of the child.
