Douglass School Uses Substitutes In Cafeteria Lunches.

The domestic science department of the Douglass School is trying to do its part in the conservation and saving of food. This school is the pioneer among the public schools of Columbia in the adoption of the cafeteria lunch plan.

The lunches are planned and prepared principally by the senior class of the domestic department. The lunches cost each pupil 6 cents. Gingerbread, crackers, maple sauce, brown bread, corn muffins, cinnamon rolls, hot biscuits and lemon tarts compose the lunches.

As much as possible substitutes are used to replace wheat, sugar and animal fats. An example of the work of the Douglass School is the exhibition in the west window of the Red Cross workroom. Mrs. J. H. Briscoe is head of the domestic science department.
