Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alabama Girls Technical Institute Bulletin, Vol. 10: Proceedings of the Third Annual Conference Alabama Home Economics Association; January 25, 26, 27, 1917 Like the majority of other small town schools, there are many of our children who bring their lunches from home. A number of them eat an early, and often hurried breakfast, miss the heaviest meal of the day which is served hot at noon, and some of them have cold supper. Miss Withers, the primary teacher, thought it would be an excellent idea to serve these children with one hot dish at meal time just to supplement their cold lunch. She asked Miss Keys if her normal class might not come down and teach the children how to prepare this dish, and also how to serve it. To which Miss Keys readily consented. There was no equipment of any kind, and at the time Miss Withers undertook to carry out her idea, not a penny in hand. But she meets with no obstacle which cannot be surmounted, and in a short time she had secured a very modest though essential equipment. In the meantime Miss Keys assigned to her class everything she could get her hands on which might treat of school lunches. The investigations were most interesting. Among other things brought out was this very significant fact - "In order to build up a strong, healthy and disease resisting army and citizenship, England, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark have for years been serving to their school children free lunches." The municipality of Paris furnishes $200,000 yearly to feed her school children. With them the proper feeding of her school children is an educational policy. In her bulletin in Daily Meals for School children; Carolyn Hunt, then professor of Home Economics in University of Wisconsin, said: "The child needs food for growth, food for play, and food for clearness of brain. Hungry children cannot learn, and it is better to feed them at the expense of the public than have them grow up deficient in brain, and body, and soul. If the State educates its children, it is a waste of money to try to educate starving children." Then she cited cases of wonderful improvement made in numbers of schools where a cup of hot milk or cocoa is served in the forenoon. Instances could be multiplied, and made to include starving children not only of the poor and dependent classes, but children of the wealthy as well. There are many poorly nourished and underfed children who belong to the upper class, and who have to suffer in regard to simple food values. Many doting mothers are hopelessly ignorant when it comes to planning balanced meals for their little ones. The school lunch paves the way to this knowledge for just such mothers. We found that it is not necessary to give free lunches in our country; and that a wholesome dish, rich in tissue building and energy producing materials may be prepared and served at a penny for a fair portion. That a well conducted school lunch supervised by a wise and tactful mother or teacher, bringing together the children from wealthy homes and those from the poor and less fortunate ones, where they may meet on the same plane for a social hour, may be made a power in smothering down the thoughtless and overbearing, while leveling up the weak and shrinking. If the Civic Leagues, the School Improvement, the Missionary societies, or like organizations will take up the matter of school lunches, they will find wonderful opportunities offered for a larger housekeeping; where the mothers of the community may meet on a common footing, and study the physical needs of her own as well as her neighbors child. The accounts given by the United States bulletins, those from Teachers College, University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois, University of Oregon, and others, prove conclusively a great gain for so small an investment of public thought and money.
