Missouri Over There

Mother Goose in War Time Collection

This collection is comprised of the original draft pages used for the publication of Mother Goose in War Time.  In 1919 the National Council of Defense, Missouri Division, published Mother Goose in Wartime, a 24 page collection of conservation-themed versions of traditional nursery rhymes illustrated by Columbia, Missouri, artist Gladys Wheat and a group of University of Missouri students.  The rhymes, written by George Nardin, and images in Mother Goose in Wartime encouraged families to conserve resources at home for the war effort.
