Since we began adding a hot dish to our former cold lunches, the parents have awakened to the fact that the teacher is really working for the comfort and welfare of the chil- shown their appreciation by donating food materials. Our first attempt was vegetable soup. We purchased a twenty-five cent soup bone, which we. cooked until tender. - The next morning before school, the older girls prepared the vegetables which had been brought by the pupils. These were added to the stock and allowed to simmer all forenoon. = As our school room con- our variety has been rather limited as yet. We have had cream of tomato soup, bean soup and hot chocolate. Our next attempt is to be creamed pota- and then macaroni and tomatoes. In addition to enjoying the palatable lunches, it affords an excellent oppor- tunity for teaching the pupils how. to prepare the foods properly, set the table, serve the meals, how to observe table tiauetteyand wash dishes.

And just to see the children enjoy their "dinner more than repays me for my trouble. Here is the testimony of another teacher: We began serving warm lunches this year for the first, and al- though I had thought of it for some time and we had raised money to buy a three-burner oil stove, it was a new idea to many of the people of the com- munity, and 1 thought i best to begin rather, slowly. began by serving arm lunch only once in a while as warm lunch only File =a) ! tizing and nourishing. : harness cleus 8 If the shoulders be- : htaleum pow | In one of the western states last| HOT LUNCHES IN THE RURAL SCHOOLS Testimony of Two Teachers As to the Practicability. of Serving Warm Meals at Noon. dren. They appreciate it and have tains only an ordinary heating stove,}- children who were ready to help furnish the food materials and help do the work. As soon as I was sure that warm lunches could be served without tak- ing much from school time, we decid- ed to have one regularly on Tuesdays. It worked so well and the children begged so hard that it was not long before Friday also became a "hot lunch day." We have quite roomy cloak rooms, and the girls willingly gave half of theirs to be uéed as a kitchen, Here we placed our stove and cooking utensils. Our cooking outfit is very simple, consisting of a teakettle, a large stew kettle, a frying pan and a large pail. Besides these, we have a large cooking spoon, a soup dipper and some other small dishes and pails. Each child has his own cup and spoon, The work is all done by committees and the children consider it a great honor to be "appointed" on a commit- tee. A committee consists of two, hree or four, according to the amount of work to be done. As a rule, I think the smaller committees do better work, as each one is held more re- sponsible for the tasks. We begin to prepare our lunch usu- ally at the morning recess, and fin that a great amount of work can be accomplished in that fifteen minutes if necessary. We never attempt to have more than one dish on the same day, and as yet, they have been very simple. We have had cocoa, coffee, potato Soup, bean soup, tomato soup and vegetable soup. The vegetable goup was the most elaborate of any- thing we have undertaken, as it con- tained meat, potatoes, cabbage, car- rots, onions, ete., all of which had to be put through a food chopper. How- ever, it proved quite a success and the committee were very proud to have made it : The parents have been very good about furnishing.

The cooking economies, of course, oc- cupied the front. A good cook dem- onstrated in a miniature kitchen some of the acceptable dishes that can be made from left-over portions of food | without spending more for new in- gredients than the left-overs are worth, No dishes were prepared ex- cept those that were actually based on material that otherwise would have been wasted. The lesson in economy was later emphasized by, selling. the food at five cents a plate--the best way of clinching the point. ,An as- sistant in the kitchen showed how to peel fruit and vegetables with the least possible waste, and another as- sistant sold economy cookbooks. The next counter was devoted to economical ideas in sewing and mend- ing. , There the onlookers learned, among 'other things, that old stock- ings can be cleverly fitted with new feet and the tops of new stockings re- inforced against the wear and tear of suspender garters, that a second lin- ing will save the back breadth of a silk underskirt, and that attractive collar-and-cuff sets can be made from worn linen skirts. Another counter was given 'over tg miscellaneous ideas in economy illustrated by ingenious little makeshifts of all kinds. A sign over the fourth counter read, "How To Save Your Luxuries." The demonstrations threw surprising light on the way people sometimes waste the supplies that cost most. A strik- ing illustration of the lesson was furnished by two tallow candles of the same size that were set burning side by side at the same time. One had been kept in the ice box, the other on an open shelf, and it was interesting to note how much longer the cold candle held out. Half of the same counter was used for an exhibit of things that may be profitably saved or sold, The samples included a col- INTERNATIONAL LESSON SEPTEMBER 16. Lesson XII.

Hostess:--A game that provides instruction as well as fun makes a double appeal and is sure to prove popular. Well-known faces is a good example of this kind of game. . It is played with a hundred or more cards made of pictures of famous persons cut from magazines or newspapers and pasted on cardboard mounts of uniform size. It is permissible to have several different likenesses of the same individual. Beneath each picture is inscribed the name of the person, the place and date of his birth and the reason why he is famous. Any number 'of players can take part. . Deal seven cards to-each play- er, and lay the remainder in a common pile in the middle of the table. The object of the game is to see which player can first get rid of all his cards, The first player draws a card from the pile, compares it with his hand, and proceeds to discard as many celebrities as may be grouped with it, if the oth- er players approve the classification that he makes. For example, persons born the same year may be discarded together, or those of the same calling, or those associated in the public mind with the same cause. The most desirable classification, naturally, is that which will use up the greatest number of cards, The other players draw and discard as their turns come. Each of them has the additional privilege of adding an appropriate card to any group on the table, provided that group does not already contain four cards, which constitute a complete book. The first player who succeeds in ridding himself of all his cards is entitled to one point for each of thé cards still held by his companions, and is the winner of that round. The more well-informed and quick-witted a player is, the sooner of course he will play out his cards. The game may be played either for a cer- tain number of rounds or until some particular score has been reached.

It begins with a description of how the three youths walked in the midst of the fire, prais- ing God.
