§ Captain Pluggeasked the President of the Board of Education whether he will investigate the reluctance of children to eat vegetables; and whether he can indicate the standard of cooking of these articles in school meals?
§ Mr. ButlerYes, Sir. I am advised that much progress is being made by means of careful social training and good cooking, in overcoming children's prejudices, which are mainly due to un-familiarity. Nowadays as much attention is paid to the cooking of vegetables as to the preparation of other dishes.
