Abstract

One of the greatest advances in reoent years in the area of student health, in both the elementary and secondary schools of our nation. has been the development of the school lunch program. The impetus for this program in the United States came during the year 1933 when the Federal Emergency Relief Administration authorized relief funds for the feeding of school children. At that time many schools throughout the country began serving a hot dish--sometimes a bowl of soup to be eaten with the student's home-packed lunch. By 1934 there were approximately 300,000 school children being served at school.
