This author sets forth the futility of attacking undernourishment principally as a school problem. Experience both in this country and in England shows that school meals are merely palliative if unaccompanied by measures to raise permanently home standards of food and hygiene. The school measures must be fitted into the larger social machinery for dealing with the defect.
