“PENNY LUNGS” (SCHOOLS HALTED “BY A TECHNICALITY That's Dr. Straubenmuller’s |, Opinion, but All the Prin- | cipals Want Them Again, Reading, as he said. between the dimes in the school lunch situation, Dr. Gustave Gtravbenmuller, desig- nated by the Board of Education to turthor the “penny lunch” plan in the wechools, said to-day that the Bogrd of Estimate seemed not to have in- tended that any part of the $50,000 already appropriated should be used aa a salary payroll. He said this diMioulty seemed to be at the bottom ot the board's delay in creating posi- tions for the conducting of this work, Dr, Straubenmuller said that the question was purely technical and agreed that an appropriation that can only be utilized for the purchase of food and equipment for the prepara- tlon of lunches amounted to nothing if some of the money could not be ‘used to pay the salaries of necessary employees. Though, as it seems, the matter apparently ‘ends there, Dr. Straubenmuller said the committee Was working on the matter. In the meantime a report issued by Health Commissioner Copeland shows that 50 per cent. of the pupils of three of the city’s largest schools are malnutrites through the want of adequate and properly cooked food. “I was very much surprised to see the figures issued wy Dr. Copeland showing the children of this school to be 50 per cent. under nourished,” Principal Anthony J. Pugilese of Pub- ile School No. 21 said to-day, “I know they were not nearly so large as this a year or two ago when the e@chool lunch was meeting with the most success. “I want to see school lunches served here because the children need them,” the Principal continued. “Be- aides they provide a means of accom- plishing a very important educational work, such as helping to bring the femily relationship into the school — correction of manners. “At School No, 21 there are 2,800 children and as high as 25 per cent. of them took advantage of the school lunch arrangement. When they can’t get their lunch here they spend their pennies at the pushcarts for candy and cakes, These lunches were dis- continued last June, successful inetitution twelve years, ANOTHER PRINCIPAL WANTS LUNCHES SERVED. “While I am strongly sed to charity that produces nothing but raupers I am in favor of the school lunch that the children can pay for,” said Joseph Chankin, Principal of Public School No. 61 at Tenth Avenue and Forty-fourth Street. The school lunch service’ was discontinued last June. Since that time, Principal Chankin says, he has noticed marked after being a for ‘nearly evidence of malnutrition among the children. School No. 51 is mentioned on the list issued 4 Dr. Copeland as having a very high percentage of malnutrites, Z “I am very much in favor of school lunches, As we have the former equip- i ———— . ana permitting the — tinued. ‘We formerly served up- ward of 10 per cent. of our enroll- ment here, which is about 1,900.” A SCHOOLFUL OF CRIPPLES NEED THE FOOD. Public School No, 44 at Hubert and Colster Streets served a “penny lunch" for six months from January | of last year until they were discon- tinued in June, John EB, Brown, the Principal, said to-day. “As there are 100 crippled children attending here,” the Principal said, “the lunch provision was very helpful I'd like very much to see it renewed.” Eight cents was charged for the daily lunch, which was generally at- tended. ‘Those who could pay did s0, Mr. Brown said, but poor children who could not ‘afford this amount were supplied through a special fund created by private donation. “Lunches were served at Public School No. 160 for four years prior to last June, when they were discon- tinued through lack of funds,” C, D.| Fleming, the Principal, said. “As @ means of combating malnu- trition and providing a regular scien- tifle diet,” he added, “the work was ment on hand we could very easily resume this ied Mr. Chankin con- particularly to be desired. “The children here formerly spent NAME “BAYER” ON GENUINE ASPIRIN Bayer introduced ‘Aspirin to physicians 18 years ago, “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” to be genuine must be marked with the safety “Bayer Cross.” Then you are getting the true, world-famous As- pirin, prescribed by physicians for over 18 years.
