Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • John C. Campbell Folk School published a series of newsletters from 1926 to 1950. Written like a letter from the school's director, the newsletter is a source of information about the classes and activities at the Folk School and their impact on the surrounding community. This premier issue introduces the "theory of the Danish Folk School" and outlines the purpose and philosophy of the school as an experiment in rural adult education. It also contains descriptions of the Brasstown community and the pledges to support the school's creation, especially the construction of a community building. The community's enthusiasm for the school is evident in over 100 pledge cards for, "over $800 in cash, locust poles, telephone poles, building logs, building stone, firewood, native shrubs and trees." The newsletter ends with a call to help this "new approach to rural problems" by addressing the monetary needs for repair of the Farm House, a water system, electric lights, a barn, and agricultural equipment. Also detailed is the financial support from religious denominations and the Carnegie Corporation.
