THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, Mrs Wadsworth Discusses an Import ant .Matter with Parent-Teachers. Mothers of Charlotte The school year has begun again, and we are facing onco more the prob lem of the noon-dey meal. Several weeks ago I happened to be in a near by town and asked one of the mothers if shs saved hot lunches for the chil dren. Her reply, "Oh, no,- we have one hour for dinner and it is not necessary." and It seemed to me that this was the solution of the whole problem one hour, instead of our present forty min utes, which would enable practically ad of our children, not just one-third as at present, to have a brisk, but not 'hurried, walk home, and there to eat their dinner and get back to school, and only one more half hour added to their school dav. As it is, now, about one third of the children go home for din ner, some entirely too fast for their digestions, the rest stay at school until two o'clock and two-thirty, and I be lieve every mother ' will agree with mo that unless you have your own dinner at two-thirty, it is almost impossible to serve an apptizing meal then, and not many of us can have our dinner or luncheon as late as that. The hot lunches served by the parents at ths schools is an excellent work, but do not take the place of a hot dinner, and arc an added expense when several children are in one family. Last week Dr. McPhaul of the city health department, with volunteer as sistants, examined all of our school children, and I was afterward informed bv one of these doctors that he was ap palled by the number of anemic, under nourished children, with bad teeth and tonsils that it was a condition whicn needed immediate attention. When I told him of this plan to give the chil dren an hour for dinner, he said he con sidered it an excellent idea, and since then I have discussed it with two other doctors who are also in favor of it. When I consulted one of the members of the school board. I was told that if the Parent-Teacher Association, as a bodv, wanted this longer noon hour, and would bring it before the school board, it would in all probability e given us. I realized that we are asking the teachers to give us a little more of their time, and it seemed to me that the Parent-Teachers Association should do all in its power to provido facipli ties, such as small refrigerators, which would enable the teachers to have an adequate luncheon at the school, if they bif to co home for one. m lii-o tn fl;k thr members of our Parent-Teachers Associations to consider this auestion fully to con sider the children and their needs to forg?t any small inconvenience in may cause vou in re-arranging your noon meal an dto come to your nevt Parent Teacher meeting prepared to discuss the question with an open mind, and if you can agree with me that it solves of e-ivinsr the children the noon-day meal they should have, vote the school for it so board for MRS. that we may asK it.
