Excerpt from The Noon Hour and the Noon Lunch In some communities people who are not well - to-do have timidity about having their children display their coarse foods in such polite society as the school, but if proper care 15 taken to show that the coarse foods which are within the reach of every family are best for the basis of the noon meal a democrati equality may be established through the school which otherwise might not exist. Teachers should take due consideration Of the inability of some families to provide dainties and should dis courage rich food to the encouragement of the common coarser sort. While a child may battle and overcome many disadvantages he is better prepared when health safeguards are thrown around him. -at the present time a large number of 'our' country schools provide some warm noon dish. In order to help out this worthy enterprise and to promote general knowledge among the people, to lay down certain principles for the teacher and to emphasize certain necessities I have asked Miss Hale, supervisor of rural education, to prepare this bulletin, to make it as sensible-and as workable as possible and as_ suggestive as such a bulletin may well be. Because the writer is interested in the welfare of every child and in his physical fitness to cope with the adversities which he must meet in life, he would urge that every teacher make prov visions for carrying out the suggestions herein recorded and that superintendents everywhere lend not only their sympathy but their active participation as well.

Excerpt from Menus and Recipes for Lunches at School Children even more than d nourishing food at every meal. For children, food mu t only for the daily upkeep of the body but more partien demands of growth and of almost ceaseless activity. Start the'day right with a good break fast is one important rule for children. To provide a hot, nourish ing midday meal is just as important. A good meal in the middle of the day, either at home or at school, contributes to growth, nutri tion, amt}. Health, and helps the child to make the most of his school opportunities. Children who seem tired and listless have been found to need nourishment quite as much as rest. For this reason, some schools provide milk at the morning - recess period, and the authorities, acting on the advice of nutritionists and physicians, cooperate in the arrangements for serving a hot lunch at school for children who cannot go home at noon. In some communities the school lunch is sponsored and supervised by the parent-teacher association, the farm bureau women, or some other local group. In some schools the older children operate the lunchroom as a part of their work in food-for-health courses, or sometimes the hot-lunch service is put into the hands of capable persons who are needing employment.
