Excerpt from The School Lunch Program and Agricultural Surplus Disposal
Thus a unique contribution to the school lunch movement has developed: A dual program of Federal aid to school feeding, initiated neither as a child-welfare nor an educational program, but as agricultural policy on the one hand, and unemployment relief on the other. This material aid by the Federal Government has helped to spread school-lunch work in thousands of communi ties throughout the country and to make free lunches available to millions of under nourished children who previously went hungry. N ow that the defense crisis focuses increasing attention upon health and nutri tion, this work seems destined to expand. The time has come, therefore, to examine its achievements and potentialities.
