Show 4 . " Heme and School League ! C! rvNE cf the great problems of the home ' LI that gs boys and g"irls to school with Jis the proper preparation of " vT!ch. In the following article Mrs. J J has answered for us some of the j j .s that have bothered us for a l'THZ SCHOOL IXKCH. . Mrs. Lucile T. Reid. 'm Lcser on Home Economics. Z By sohooi luncheons we mean the lur.ch that children have to carry and c-at in the school room. We are asking the co-operation of the parents and children to the end that the child shall carry his lunch wrapped in a sanitary t way, and if there is any waste, to put the responsibility on the child to return the remains of the lur.ch home where it can be utilized to much better advantage than it can if left in the Bchooi garbage '" can. J, Children are quick to respond to the demands for conservation, and are often more particular about the "less' cays than their parents. The waste of bread, V: e'e, at the high and grade schools is appalling. At some of the schools in the city the principals have taken the waste problem in hand, and credit marks are given for no waste frcm the lunch basket. How to make a school luncheon attractive, at-tractive, nourishing, and with r.o waste, is quite a problem. For the mother or sister knows that this luncheon packfce must repose on the floor or windowsiil. or be suspended from a coat hook in a ! V hail where there are countless obstacles 1 to its keeping, clean or fres' For the: 4 grade schools have neither cockers nor t lunchrooms. The high schools are : almost as bad, for they furnish lockers that are open to mice. So it is verv i important that the child should have his lunch wrapped in waxed paper, each piece of bread or sandwich wrapped sep- arately. And let me say right here that : rhere is no better way to conserve food : than to wrap it in wax paper. The food . , win then keep fresh and clean, and the, I paper is not ertDeneive, especiallv if vcu ! occasionally buy bread, for you can use i the wa-xed paper in which it comes. An- 1 i other reason why it is well for the chii-4 chii-4 dren to return the leftovers is that they will then return the waxed paper in which : iheir lunch was wrapped and, ufter wiping wip-ing off. this can be used again. There are no lunchrooms in anv of the ; grade or high schools in Salt Luke where ,.- the children who bring their luncheon 'shave a well-lighted, well-heated and .,rrST vntilated piace in whi-h to 1 spendSjbinch time. The grade children r , Pat in liischoolroom where all morn- ' iug there have been from thirty to forty i vhildren, and there has been no time to : f air it for the noon hour. Conditions are Utile better at the hich schools and the r university, for the boys and girls have " . to eat the lunch they carry in dark cor--. . ners no fresh air, not enough chairs and tables. Liven the S5r'0,'i00 spent on ; jhe East high school has not provided ; lunchrooms. To be sure, there are the : caieterias, but it is a great hardship some-times some-times to have to pay carfare and then buy luncheons, in many homes.

Febru.Tr- f1. th secretary sec-retary of tho home economics committee was privileged to visit the Provo clas in food and nutrition and infant welfare. If anv of the members of the Salt Lakfe City Home and School Uapue and when I address this bodv 1 address all good 1 cit 'zors of this city could ha ve peeped into the beautiful auditorium of the Central Cen-tral higrh school building m Provo at about i o'clock, they would hr.ve seen mi Interesting siiiht. Pefore a large body of the representative men and women of that city stood a table on which were ranged rows of business-like ounce, bottles bot-tles filled with interesting looking edibles; edi-bles; plates of foods templing to tiie eye, but in tbeir waxen deceit giving off no palate-tickiinjr odors: fruits and vetre-tables vetre-tables labeled us to weight : and a lit tie stack of booklets that tho government has prepared for distribution to the people peo-ple who are studying food conservation. Thest various n ems were arranged by the lecturer. Miss t!ls nche Cooper, to be used in demonstrating to the people of Provo the relation between the calorie s nd the se'-vme port icn. On a U points of the lecture free diM-iision was invited invit-ed nnd indulged in, h nd e en a la yman could grasp, a iter the vet y interesting talk, a good idea of how th& ever da-meal da-meal measured up. After Miss Cooper completed her part of the programme. Dr. A. A. Anderson of Salt I-.ke spoke very clearlv and pointedly on "Obstetrics." The large class listened intently and follow ?A the doctor's discourse with great interest Both these classes were continuing work previouslv begun. In the gathering were representative men and womeu of the town. You n otic T said men and women. That is the big thing, it seems to me in this class the men nre taking part. In all the discussions, and thera were many, the men spoke up. They desired de-sired to know how all fh.ese things were done, and why. The women oi America are doing their s''.are nobly, but often it seems as if the men are not sustaining their helpma tes A man so oiten is given to certain li k-?s and dislikes, and because he is the ' biead winnrr." he imposes im-poses on the "bveaii maker." Men are not alwavs willing to follow these "-less" days; nor are thv n creeable when a favorite cut of me?i is not forthcoming at home. There are men who lunch in town and hope thereby to tool-tit e fam-ilv. fam-ilv. Are our loyal American women get-Ur.e: get-Ur.e: a square deal? Here in Salt Lake we hav over a thousand men and women enrolled in the classes under th-1 Home and School t league studying thes ery matters. Let us hope tli at in no home where the i mother has so patiently worked to patriotically pa-triotically help eonserve food, will the husband refuse to eat what is 'prepared Let us hope rather tht Salt Lake has sufficient sportsmen that the men wtil all be glad to try everything that appears, and grin if it seems a little peculiar. Many of our tastes are not natural, anyway, any-way, ant just because the article of food has a different taste does not prove that it is not of as much, or more, value than ' that to which we have accustomed our-! our-! selves for years past. j However, there Is in the class in Provo. , and in many of our own classes, a body j of men who are lookirar toward the better bet-ter way. The men and women meet on common ground to prepare to fight a common foe. And we are of the opinion that these men will be as proud of the wife's prowess in handling potato bread as they used to be of the ability of the car to climb east bench on h;gh. War Bread at Sumner. Principal J. Challon Smith of the Sumner Sum-ner school initiated in his school a verv interesting exhibit last Wednesday afternoon. aft-ernoon. The boys and girls of the sixth grade, under the direction of Miss Nelle Rosser, made war breads and cookies in a little contest for first and second place. Miss Celia McFail, teacher of domestic science, and Miss Leon a Johnson of the primary- department, acted as judges. Spread out on a large table were loaves of rye, graham and cornmeal bread; hot brown bread that would tempt a Bos-toman; Bos-toman; sugarless cake that belied its title; egg!es3 and inilkless fruitcake; a meatless meat loaf, and delicious war cookies. With each exhibit was the recipe by which I z wa3 made, and an exhibition of wheatless oereals completed the picture. About the room where the roods w ere displayed were large posters designed by the children themselves, urg-irg urg-irg us to "Hoovene," etc. Af'er sampling sam-pling the entries the judges were unable to rightly determine which was best, as all were so good. The Sumner class In food and nutrition met in the building the same day and the ladies were invited in-vited to try what the children could do. The energetic hoys and girls of the Sumner sixth grade should be highly commended for their excellent showing. Norwegian Fish Pudding. Thursdav afternoon at the Emerson school one of the most enthusiastic classes of the season witnessed the demonstration dem-onstration of the preparation of the famous fa-mous Norwegian fish pudding, by Mrs. Widisoe, and her sister, Miss Gaarden. These ladies are doinp a great service to tiie community, and in this the second of their lectures, far surpassed the excellent ex-cellent record of the first. Whenever any district may be fortunate enough to have this work, every house wife in the district should get out to hear it. "Alice in Wonderland. " So many of' the boys and girls of the city failed to gain admittance to the theater when "Alice in Wonderland" was shown that the motion picture committee of the league has decided to show this picture on Saturday morning, February 23. The time, J0;3U promptly. The price, 5 cents. The pla.ee, Paramount-Empress theater. |
