The Noon Hour And The Noon Lunch

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.
