F FOR THE LL THE PICTURES in this circular 
Mic x SHitia are made from photographs of prize- 
winning posters designed by school chil- 
dren, both city and rural. They were 
made by children of all grades, from the 
lowest grade to the last year in high 
school. In many cases they were made in 
poster contests where the pupils of one 
school competed with those of the same 
grade in other schools. These posters 
were made in connection with programs 
/ carried on by the communities in which

The aim of an educational milk program is to encourage an intelli- 
gent use of milk, for the purpose of improving health and reducing 
undernourishment. In this wor k, which is described in Department 
Circular 250, “ Educational Milk- for-Health Campaigns,” the making 
of posters has been found a helpful feature; and these reproductions 
are published with the hope that they may be useful as suggestions 
to persons planning to conduct similar programs. 
SUGGESTIONS TO MILK-POSTER COMMITTEES 
It is very important to work out a carefully detailed plan for 
handling a milk-poster contest. In cities this is often managed more 
easily than in the county-wide contests, where a larger area must be 
considered. It is suggested that the committee in char ge of school 
posters first consult with the school superintendent in order to secure 
_ his approval of the plan as well as his active cooperation in inter- 
esting the teachers. 
| In case there is an art supervisor her cooperation is essential; and 
if possible she should be chairman of the poster committee. Tt is
