100 Years Ago: Alton Public School Students Receive Milk and Crackers as Supplemental Nutrition

1 month 3 weeks ago
ALTON - The Alton public schools began serving milk and graham crackers to undernourished students (as determined by student weight) on Monday, October 19, 1925. Mrs. Daisy Creswick Rice, health supervisor for the schools, had just completed the fall student health assessments and encouraged all underweight pupils to take the opportunity for a mid-morning meal served at 10 a.m. at all buildings. The cost to the students was 4 cents per day for a half-pint of milk and two graham crackers, but arrangements were made (as in previous years) to provide the meal for free to students who could not afford it otherwise. Rice said that “experience of the past few years has shown that the serving of milk has been of great benefit, and has had marked results. Teachers are very enthusiastic over the plan for supplementary nourishment because they find that the morning lunch increases the working power of the pupils, and tends to improve their class work as well as benefit them physically.”

This Day in History on October 23: Italy Invades Ethiopia

1 month 3 weeks ago
October 23 has been a date marked by pivotal moments that have shaped world history. Starting with the event that cast a long shadow over global affairs: On October 23, 1935, Italian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ethiopia, then known as Abyssinia. This aggressive military campaign initiated the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, a conflict that would become a critical moment in the lead-up to World War II. Italy, under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, sought to expand its colonial empire in Africa, and Ethiopia was one of the few independent African nations at the time. The invasion was met with international condemnation, particularly from the League of Nations, the precursor to the United Nations, which struggled to effectively respond to the aggression. The war exposed the limitations of collective security agreements and emboldened other authoritarian regimes, highlighting the fragility of peace in the interwar period. Despite Ethiopian resistance, Italy's modernized
