y ick FOR THE HE ILLUSTRATIONS in this cir- 
| Geice cular are of posters made in con- 
of 1 FY sonection with milk-for-health campaigns. 
‘ Most of these posters were made by 
children and represent the work of both 
city and rural boys and girls of all ages, 
from the lowest grade to the last year in 
high school. A few of the posters in- 
cluded were prepared by college students. 
In most cases these posters were made in 
contests in which the pupils of one.school 
fo competed with those of the same grade 
in other schools. These poster contests 
were conducted in connection with milk- 
rar Lit - Sen for-health campaigns carried on by the 
é GET it? communities in which the children lived, 
with the cooperation of the State agri- 
cultural college and the Bureau of Dairying, United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. 
The aim of an educational milk campaign is to encourage an 
intelligent use of milk for the purpose of improving health and 
reducing undernourishment. This work is described in Department 
Circular 250, “Educational Milk-for-Health Campaigns.” The 
making of milk posters has been found a helpful feature of these 
campaigns, and reproductions are published here with the hope that 
they may be useful as suggestions to persons planning to conduct 
similar campaigns.

communities more or less isolated, must be considered. It is sug- 
gested that the committee in charge of school posters first consult
