John C. Campbell Folk School, no. 26 (April 1942)

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. As the war continues, this brief newsletter reports that the number of students enrolled at the school is low, due to young men going into the service or one of the "various defense industries." Attention is taken away from farm work, and although efforts must be divided, Mrs. Campbell exhorts readers to continue to recognize the importance of the work of the school. Initiatives such as farming, gardening, canning, and craftwork must go on. The war necessitates new Folk School activities such as sewing for the Red Cross.
