L is for Luncheon": Advocating for School Lunches

New York, New York: American Child Health Association, 1920. Some light toning, else fine.. A small lithographed card (6" by 4") published by the American Child Health Association (ACHA) advocating for giving children access to school lunches. The card depicts a loving female teacher presenting a piping hot meal to three children, underneath which is a rhyme: "L is for Luncheon served hot in the School; We wish all the Teachers could follow this Rule." The ACHA was formed in 1923 by Herbert Hoover by merging the American Child Hygiene Association and the Child Health Organization, and grew out of efforts to stop rising infant mortality rates.
