Lorain County Board of Health has devised a plan by which undernourished children may receive the necessary nourishment while attending school. Although the plan has not been put Into practical use as yet, the idea Is gaining a great deal of favor in Amherst. The plan ts to give the undernour- iethed student milk at 10 o'clock ln the morning, tbe cost of which will be fifteen cents (16c) per week. This plan has been practiced in other schools and has had a marked Influence on the students. It makes them stronger by the additional strength, the student has a greater application for his work. It has increased the scholarship from twenty- five to fifty per cent ln different cases. The only drawback which confronts the health board Is that the parents of some students will be unable to afford the expense of giving their children this nourishment. The district health commissioner presented his plan to the Amherst Business Men's association at their meeting on Monday night. The commissioner Hated that if donations could be made, the children of those parents who could not afford the nourishment could be taken care of with the greatest of ease. The association expressed their willingness to donate to a cause of that kind. The Indications are that undernour Ished school children in the Amherst schools this fall will be governed by this plan, outlined by the county health board.

Lorain County Board of Health has devised a plan by which undernourished children may receive the necessary nourishment while attending school. Although the plan has not been put Into practical use as yet, the idea Is gaining a great deal of favor in Amherst. The plan ts to give the undernour- iethed student milk at 10 o'clock ln the morning, tbe cost of which will be fifteen cents (16c) per week. This plan has been practiced in other schools and has had a marked Influence on the students. It makes them stronger by the additional strength, the student has a greater application for his work. It has increased the scholarship from twenty- five to fifty per cent ln different cases. The only drawback which confronts the health board Is that the parents of some students will be unable to afford the expense of giving their children this nourishment. The district health commissioner presented his plan to the Amherst Business Men's association at their meeting on Monday night. The commissioner Hated that if donations could be made, the children of those parents who could not afford the nourishment could be taken care of with the greatest of ease. The association expressed their willingness to donate to a cause of that kind. The Indications are that undernour Ished school children in the Amherst schools this fall will be governed by this plan, outlined by the county health board.
