Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Malnutrition and School Feeding One of the most conspicuous by-products of the public-school system is a quickened interest in the physical welfare of the school child. Practically the entire population of the Nation between the ages of 5 and 15 is gathered together for from 6 to 10 months of the year into a great community to receive public instruction. This segregation of the youth of the Nation is beset, from the point of view of public health, with advantages and disadvantages. The chief disadvantages are that the close personal contact of so many individuals facilitates the spread of contagious disease and that the educational process itself places a severe physical strain on growing children. The chief advantages are that it facilitates the regulation of health conditions and that it brings to the attention of the proper authorities physically subnormal children who would otherwise remain undiscovered.

While the causes of malnutrition are many, incorrect or inadequate diet appears all too often as one of the causes; hence school feeding, which affords not only an opportunity to supplement the home food supply hut also to teach correct food habits, becomes a most valuable agency in combating the evil. This monograph is presented with a desire to aid communities in making school feeding a really effective social agency. In order to determine the true relation between malnutrition and school feeding, we shall first consider briefly the problem of malnutrition and, second, the development and present status of school feeding both in New York City and other communities in relation to this defect.

All this means that we must take a wide and comprehensive view of nutrition, which is a state revealing Itself In a variety of signs and symptoms.
