tarded. We provided equipment not yet on the
School Board's requisition list, obtained permis-
sion for her to attend children's clinics, secured
treatment for the children, and, finally, and not
least important, made every effort to interest

The plan included the
provision of a luncheon.
For this we purchased
tables, paper napkins,
and dishes. The chil-
dren brought from home
bread and butter, and a
penny for a glass of milk, and an alert principal
made practical the cooking lessons given to
the older girls in the school by having them
prepare the main dish of the pupils' luncheon
--incidentally the first to be provided in the
grade schools. Occasionally the approval of
the families would be expressed in extra do-
nations, and in the beginning this sometimes
took the form of a bottle of beer. Every day
one pupil was permitted to invite an adult
member of his family to the luncheon, which led
naturally to an exchange of visits between
members of the family and the teacher.
