The school lunch is deserving of
more consideration than many parents
give it. Childhood is an impressionable
age and great care should be exercised
as to influences that are brought to
bear on the child durir'r this critical
period in its life. Influences that to us
grown people seem small may leave an
impression with children throughout
their lives. For this reason we should
be exceedingly careful as to the kind
of influences that surround our children
Cleanliness, and neatness should be
among the early impressions made
upon the mind of the child. The school
lunch is a good means of impressing
the child with these habits, or perhaps
I might say virtues, for they are
virtues.
The school lunch should have three
characteristics, appetizing, nourishing,
and easily digested. A normal child of
school age requires considerable food to
meet the demands of up-keep and
growth, so a school lunch should be
sufficiently appetizing to induce him to
eat freely It should be compo.sed of
the things that will satisfy the hunger
of a robust child, and the same time
be so easily digested as to permit the
child to study in the afternoon rather
than to be put to sleep from the
effects of the lunch.
In preparing the school lunch avoid
all soggy foods, all fried meats, unlett
a small quantity of well fried breakfast
bacon may be permissible. Good bread
and biscuits, boiled eggs chicken and
fresh meats, butter, sandwiches, ripe
fruit, salted peanuts or other nuts,
plain cakes and a bottle of fresh milk
are sufficient to draw frjm and will
supply the requirements of almost any
school child. Sandwiches may be made
from home grown vegetables with or
without mayonnaise dressing as the
child map prefer. The lunch should be
put up in a neat basket or bucket.
The basis of award will be as follows;
Neatness in packing .30 per cent.
Suitability of food lo purpose 40 per
cent.
Suitability of food to season 30 per
cent.
In judging bread the following score
card will be used: Flavor, 35 points;
crust—color, depth, texture, 20 points;
lightness, 15 points; grain and texa”-e,
10 points; crumb—color end moistr'-e,
10 points; shape and size, 10 points.
Size recommended, 7^ x 3i x 2| inches.
No award will be given for bread
scoiirg less than 75 points, nor for
school lunches scoiing less than 70
points.
The premium for the best Ijaf of
enough to cover 132,000,000 square feet
of surface. It will take 10 weeks to do
the work, with a large number of
painters on the job daily, all of which
proves again that the dome of the
capitol is entitled to be called big. A
small part of this paint will be used on
the outside stone work immediately
b low the dome, but not enough to
interfere seriously with the accuracy
of the statements just made.
The goddess of Freedom, which tc^s
the dome, will first be cleaned and
made to shine, and this job which is
already started and which takes place
triennially, is performed by expert
steeple climbers, for it is something of
a task to get to the place where this
figure stands balanced on a great
bronze ball. Scaffolding is being used,
but even then the work is difficult, and
oi.ly men specially trained can do it
successfully. The cost of giving the
statue its triennial bath and of paint
ing £he dome inside and outside is
$16,000, which has led somebody to re
mark that it is perhaps just as well
that it dosen’t come oftener then once
in three years.
The soap bath of the goddess will
not interfere one whit with the coat
ing of green which has covered her
gown. That could be removed, tut the
architect of the capitol says it will not
be done. Several times a movement
has been made to scour this green off,
but each time there have been loud
protests from art critics in all parts
of the countiy, who insist that the
green is a mark of that respectability
that comet to bronze with age.
In the tiara which the goddess wears
there are seven aluminum jewels or
spikes, to F^rotect her against the thun
derbolts of Jove. These jewels cost
$100 each and wiU be renewed.
