SCIENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
Fuel For School
School days ahead: Little Sue
and young Johnny are going back
to their 30-hour work week. How
will their on-the-job performance
be? Most people realize how impor
tant good nutrition is for the work
ing man if he’s to do his job well*
Yet few people connect a youngs
ter's performance at school with
his state of nutrition.
People in the know — the teachers
— often report
that the child with,
little or no break
fast is likely to be
tired, cross, inat
ji tentive or poor at
' his lessons.
A A recent survey
/ made by the Ohio
Im experiment sta
tion revealed that of 341 school
children studied, only 20 ate break
fasts which rated “good” by mod
ern nutrition standards. The chil
dren, ranging from 9 to 12 years
old, attended city, village and rural
schools.
Nutritionists say breakfast
should supply at least a fourth, pre
ferably a third, of the day’s food
needs, including protein, calcium
and vitamins. To make sure your
child is getting the vitamins and
minerals he needs for growth and
activity, you can make a vitamin
tablet part of the daily breakfast
routine. One such supplement, Vi
terra Tastitabs, is fruit-flavored to
please youngsters. If you have a
problem eater in your house, a
candy-flavored Stimavite tablet will
step up his appetite for all his food,
not only at breakfast time, but also
for the other meals of the day.
The most common excuse for a
poor breakfast — lack of time or
hurried atmosphere - are poor rea
sons for sending young scholars off
to school in a poor state of nutri
tion.
