Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The supplying of surplus foods through the Surplus Marketing Administration is the primary concern of this report. Against a background discussion of the school-lunch movement in terms of nutritional need among children in the United States and previous experience with school feeding both here and abroad, it describes the S. M. A. program in operation, with emphasis upon its integration with the activities both of W. P. A. and of the other agencies and organizations, public and private, local, State, and national, that are active in school-lunch work, and attempts an evaluation of the program both as agricultural policy and as a contribution to child welfare. Does the School Lunch Program of the Surplus Marketing Administration help farmers? For it has been undertaken, after all, as a part of our agricultural policy. Has it significantly attacked the problem of child malnutrition? For that is certainly no less important an aim. What problems have been raised by its operation; and what modifications might adapt it better to either or both of its objectives? What are its potentialities; and what place should it have in the years ahead? These are the kind of questions to which this report addresses itself.
