Bolph Jrf Mayor of the city and county of Saw Francisco i Sear SlrAnent that double oolumri article In this morning Chroniole on the Lowell High School oafeterlai I told Xr OAnoona more than four Weeks ago when they put an loecream and soda water stand and a oandy ocunter into the halls of that sohool that it would cause trouble Well It hasi started and all because the North of Panhandle improvement Club on my motion orttlcised that ln novation as detrimental to a sohool of ahy kind and as foreign what sohool are Intended for and out of place And the members of this olub and of probably all the ether olubs dont care what they doMn Los Angeles or anywhere elieu The trouble as stated has started but has by no means endedy tor the tradespeople In other parts of the olty will I thlnknot look with favor upon cafeteria la our public schools There wlllr be objections from all parts of the olty when these cafeterias Ice cream parlors soda water stands and candy oounters are being established In the schools all over the city as Is promised thsyi will be It the Lowell prove a suooesi The arguments of DrTiAnoona and ThadduiRhoades that these establishment are ffft the benefit of the children and for the publlo Interest are Lfallaclousi tor they are nothing of the Kina ana ine people win nut ir them it but cult Ihe contrary will disapprove of therri whew they will find cut that they are not for the benefit of the schools mor the children nor the people the plain people not the snobs whoiate greatly ty the minority when It comes to votings These plain people will surely ob Ject to our publlo schools being used for anv other purpose than education This servlnf of meals Ice cresm soda water and candy fruit oaken and pies at the schools Is very wrong frojoimor thnon standpoint considered In the first place Ifleads to snobbery nd snobblshnessv already in evidence at the Lowell to some extent of which the children of the people who send them to school with their lunch are the suffertrs These feel constrained to eat In the cafeteria and are probably not permitted to eat at the tables except they buy at leaet a oup ot ooffe These are eubjectedto the gibes and sneers ot the pupils better able to patronise th cafeteria Ice cream and soda water stand and candy oounter more liberally Thirteen oents ipe lunch may lok small to the opulent but Is a good deal for poor people who have three tour or five children at ntinnl When John and Mamie get 15 or tt oenis to spend tor their lunohes Henry and Maggie wouia aisoy hv 15 on 20 cents eechso they wont be looked down upon This 1s more natural even eraonr children than among grown tolk It would be much bttr forj the boys and girls to go home to lunoh even If they would have to walk ten bionics eomlna and eolnir WEven lt the noon recess would have to be made two Hours and tne sonooi oayexienaea from 245 toi Jl It would do the boysi and girls more good to go home toi mother at noon and have their lunch at home than to oafeterlarate even though the going home might cause the trouble of a plate or two more to wash upi There Js entlroly too much oaf eterlaism Initblk olty now and too little home cooking No one can deny that the fir ha ard is greatly Increased andf also that bad odors from the cafeteria and from Its iwUl are muoh In evtdenceand not beneficial to the health ot the chil dren 1 So much for tne oaieiena innovation atr the Lowell with Itsf ice oream stnd Its soda water stand and Its oandy oounter Now something about the other management of thl sohool which was rightfully condemned by th club as wretched and Incompetent en Olorv the Stars and Stripes the American flag presented to the pfovement Club has not floated from the flaa staft for a month and Is trailed over the dusty mJndowslll twice a day like an old washrag Just bepauee the halyard was pulled down It did not eraoe tne poie onaoor aay nor win It on Admission day Nat one of the teachers to think of thiscnor one of the 800 boys with enough patriotism in his soul to shin up that nag polo and put in anotner naiyarai There are more mam torty winaows smashed In the northeast wings ot the school the lower ones nailed up with boards or oroouery orates A Beautiful sight this 111 Through these smashed In window may be seen the provisions and the litter of the cafeteria In one room ten full sacks of potatoes In another what appear to be onions in a third the excelsior straw and paper of the packing ot orocltery and cratesii baok of the broken window glass between It and the boards a lot of refuse food remnants utinh as half eaten sandwiches cakes andi pies are inr evidence An other sretty sight the running track Lfllthy and littered with broken glass The handball oourw a present tonno sohool from the Halght and Ashbury Improvement Association put up about three months gov and badly out ot plumb not yet painted Thl Is a truthful unexaggerated description of the exterior of this sohool which has only been in us about six months It would be well Mn Mayor for you to visit this sohool and convince yourself but you must walk oloee to the building and around It to see these shameful conditions Then I know that you wllltat least read the riot act toi those responsible forkthedlsgracer I would fire the responsible parties If I had the power1 no matter who they mis lit be The cafeteria at the Lowell is tor the rich and not at all for the poor ohlldren nor for the children ot the plain people It Is extremely undemocratic The Inequality ot the management and of the treatment ot th ohlldren Is apparenf every minute of the lunoh hour The heartaches of the ohlldren who bring their lunch and have no money to spend at all and that heartaches of the boys and girls who are limited toi very small amounts of money and oannot indylge In the luxuries of the cafeteria such as Ice oream cornucopias soda water chooo latts and other candles and sweetmeats are loo

Intends to have a oonferenoe with the Board of Bducatlon tomorrow Th Mayor visited ihe school yesterday to look at thai cafeteria and while he found that It was conducted le neat and careful manner he deferred forming a Judsinent coneernlnsr the wisdom ot Its management until he oould get tne views or ail sides and talk with the Board of Education about It fcread theartlole in the Chronlole about the Lowell High Sohool cafeteria on Sunday said therMayor yesterday and concluded that I ought to look Into the matters This morning I1 went to the school and saw the cafeteria I spoke to some ot the boys attending the school about It and theU answers showed that they liked the cafeteria These were merely the boys 1 happened to meet and what they said may not reflooti the views ot the whole sohool Th cafeteria looked nice and the food served there was prepared la an Inviting manner COirPERSltCK TO Bti CAIXED On account of 1aok of time I did not talk to the people of th neighbor hood who I understand have been complaining about the cafeteria Thus I am as yet not informed concerning the merits ot the matter of the oafeterlas competition with persons In business In the vicinity of the school and the other points of objection to this eating place I would have had a conference with the members of the Board of Bducatlon tbls afternoon If I had the opportunity as the matter should be considered without delay1 but other business has kept me occupied I will request me acqooi creators tpi meet In my Ouce on Wednesday for a talk on this subject Apart from the cafeteria complaints relative to the Lowell High School have reached the Mayor and he gave some attention to them yesterday One was to the effect that th sohool flag had not been unfurled on an oocaslon when flags were raised at other schools and the Mayor ascertained that the reason for this failure was that the halyards were missing from1 the flagpole leaving no means ot lifting up the national banner SEVENTEEN HALYARDS TAKBJf He was informed by the Board of Bducatlon that seventeen halyards had been stolen from this sohool in the last four week Mayor Rolph remarked that notwithstanding this fact the persons In charge of the sohool should see that Its equipment was maintained so that the flag might be raised at the proper time It thieves were operating at the eohool he said oomplalnt should be made to the polloe so a to have them apprehended It appears that tnis was not none The breaking of numerous windows in the sohool was called to the Mayors attention and he found on Inquiry that this demolition of glass was due to boys playing ball In the school yard So on returning to the city Hal he advised thatsscreens be put on the windows President DAncona ot the Board ot Education sayt that a request was mads to theBoard of Publlo Work to place screens on the windows ot the Lowell High School some months ago but the response wa that no funds tor tnis purpose were available seeeo tunate comrades No doubt some women will advocate them thcseiwhe are too Indolent to think ot a lunoh at home let alone provide one but thank Qod tnere arent many or mem aut the plain people will condemn this kind of a
