Book Description

Excerpt from The Rural School Lunch With the widespread awakening in rural affairs much interest has centered in the rural school. Ways and means have been devised for improving the course of study as well as for making the building and grounds sanitary and more attractive. Sight, hearing, food and other similar vital matters are receiving attention and correction. In most of the high schools of our large cities, the warm lunch has been established, as the relation between proper food and healthful mental development is well recognized. When it is suggested for the rural school, however, where its need is more deeply felt, many persons think its accomplishment impossible. The warm lunch, when this term is used, refers, of course, to that portion of the whole lunch which is prepared at school. It supplements, but does not supplant, the lunch brought from home. The instruction given, however, should have reference to the whole lunch, food values and dietetics in general. The aim of this little booklet is to show how the warm noon lunch can be successfully managed in any consolidated or rural school.
