Field Work Perhaps no part of our course will prove so valuable. as we go out into positions of nutritional and dietetic nature, as will the practical experience we derive from Held work. Besides the valuable knowledge gained by helping in the many departments of the Sanitarium, we were also privileged to do school lunchrooin work, social work, and practical medical dietetics. Our former work in School lunches proves so well worth while, that more requests came this year for our help in conducting these lunches than our enrollment would permit. We were able to continue the work at one school. however. Two Seniors, assisted by a junior, planned, pre- pared and served a welll-balanced noonday lunch at a minimum cost. Because milk is being mo1'e and more recognized as an essential food 'for growing children. a milk station is also being conducted at this school, where the children are able to secure fresh milk each morningi at a nominal cost. The results of the co-operation of the lunchroom and milk station are most gratifying. As the food is well pre- pared and attractively served, the children are taught to know and to acquire a liking for the right kind of food. The Social work carried on in connection with the Welfare office was varied and most interesting. It com- prised work toward better living conditions, home nurs- ing. and social betterment. Through the courtesy of the dispensary we were IIS- signed patients needing dietetic treatment. These patients were visited in their homes, made to feel we had a friendly and scientific interest in their' welfare and that we were willing and anxious to help them in every way we could. B. C. S0
