John C. Campbell Folk School, no. 24 (October 1940)

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 the face of war and national economic crisis, this issue addresses skeptics' questioning of the importance of supporting a small, rural venture such as the John C. Campbell Folk School. The argument is presented that a healthy country life is necessary for the functioning of life nationally. The value of supporting rural activity lies in "depending, more and more, upon the land to furnish sustenance, creative energy, and truly democratic attitudes." The comparison is made between the regeneration of rural life in Denmark in the 1800's and the situation in the states. Nikolaj Grundtvig's three emphases of a folk school- to awaken, enliven, and enlighten- are applied to the John C. Campbell Folk School. After almost fifteen years, this "experiment in adult education" is proving its success, as students are improving their conditions in tangible ways.
