LESS WASTE AT SCHOOLS
LOSS TO CARETAKER An interesting commentary on the present wave of economy is afforded by the experience of the caretaker of a Christchurch school which is attended by a large number of children. When there was no talk of depression lie used to collect on the average a barrel and a half of scraps of food in the playground after the school closed each day, and ho was ablo to feed! quite a number of fowls in this way. Now ho collects barely half a barrel of scraps in a week and consequently has reduced-tho number of his fowls. The credit for the reduction in the waste of food at tho school, is partly due to tho teachers, who take every opportunity of impressing on the children that it is wrong to waste food while there arc so many persons in want.
