To*Provide Hot
School Lunches
A large number of pupils tn the
I local school have been bringing their
lunches this year than ever in the
past.
Students of child health all
agree that a cold noon lunch is espec­
ially harmful for growing children.
Many cases of malnutrition, under­
weight, and many other health de­
fects. may be attributed to this cause.
Many schools in Oregon are meeting
this condition by serving hot lunch­
es to those who ore unable to go
home at noon on account of the dis­
tance. The local school board has
decided to inaugurate a plan of sup­
plying something warm, either a hot
soup or hot cocoa, .at cost to those
who bring their lunches. The cook­
ing class of the Domestic Science de­
partment will prepare the food as a
part of their course. It is not plan­
ned to run this as a restaurant, but
simply as a means by which parents
can be assured that their children
may secure the needed warm element
for the noon lunch at cost.
Children who live near enough to
the school are urged to go home at
noon, and those living within eight
blocks from the school will not be
allowed to bring their lunches with­
out special permission is granted by
the principal, as in the case of es­
pecially inclement weather.
This service will not be an expense
to the district, as it will be oper­
ated on a cost basis.
The Domestic
Science girls will figure the cost of
each item, which will be charged as
conditions warrant.
Soup will be
about five cents a bowl, cocoa three
cents, etc. It is planned to begin
