The illustrations in this book show how this is accomplished and present a story of the environments and associa- tions with which we surround our boys. What we would have you learn from these pages is that ours is an earnest, business-like, cheerful life and withal a wholesome and manly one. The Table The table receives the constant attention needed to insure excellence. The food is of the best, well balanced on a scientific basis, well pre- pared and served. Our purpose is to serve such food as will build up our boys in connection with our military and athletic exercises. In general, breakfast consists of fruit, two cereals, hot and cold, one pint of milk, served to each boy in individual bottles, eggs, different styles varied by meats, fish and griddle cakes, hot rolls or mufiins and light coffee or cocoa. Dinner consists of soup, roast beef or lamb, varied by chicken, lamb chops, sirloin steak, veal cutlets, two vegetables, pie, pudding or ice cream and cake. At supper we have hot or cold meats, beef or lamb stew, with vegetables, potatoes, salads, hot rolls, or biscuits, pre- serves and cake, hot cocoa and milk. Bread and creamery butter are served at all meals. ' The menu is changed daily. All meals are served in abundance. Extra milk as a diet is supplied on request ofthe parent or the prescription of the physician.
