John C. Campbell Folk School, no. 17 (April 1935)

Item
?

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. In this issue, a strong tie with the community is re-emphasized. The spirit of the Folk School is discussed, as well as how and what a Folk School learns and how it strives to achieve "a better social and economic order." Craft work has a practical, economic importance as well as cultural, as money earned from carving continues to sustain many families in the community. During this time of continuing economic stress, the writer comments on the value of hard work and potential unpleasantness that that lies behind the beauty and apparent ease of the school and its craftwork. The Mountain Valley Cooperative and the Farmers' Association have combined. The Creamery and Farmers' Association is managed by Lake Tuckwiller, and with the help of state employee, S.W. Mendenhall, aims to improve the quality of cream, poultry, and eggs. A chart breaks down economic relief provided by the school and the cooperatives, which illustrates the main purpose of the school "to help individuals, and through them, the section in which they live, to a fuller and richer life."
