28 The Berea Quarterly taught six weeks but she had learned the hardest lessons of all, to lay aside the teaching-book. Many things she could not do but I quickly understood why she was "teacher" though she taught only the second and third grades. Numbers were play, reading and story telling were somehow one, and as for spelling and writing, which was which? Every eye followed her about, sunshine that she was. And I prayed a prayer to the good Father who gives his best gift to little children that "teacher" would not go away to town to teach. The old law seems so cruel: "Him as has, gits." Noontime came before I could realize it and the row of lard pails hanging on the wall were as eagerly attacked as a dinner bucket ever is. The contents seemed just alike, buttermilk with corn bread crumbled in it. One boy had the luxury of cold sweet potatoes. After lunch, a reading class was called. It was the story of Joan of Arc. But alas, words stood like a wall between the thrilling story and the little souls hungry for their share in the world's adventure and the world's noble deeds. It was not a story. It was only a mass of words bundled into sentences. I could stand it no longer. I told them the story. They were "shamed" before me no longer. They read with eagerness for I had not given enough details to satisfy them. One little girl finally ventured to ask what a "peasant" girl was. Greenberry turned the question as usual back upon the class. They were divided in opinion. Most of the boys thought it meant a "pretty" girl and the girls declared it must mean a "pleasant" girl. Greenberry sized up the situation and took sides with his own sex.

This article, pages 5 to 19, is titled, “Kephart the Hunter.” It appears in the January 1914 issue of The Berea Quarterly. On page 2 is a photograph taken from Kephart’s book “Our Southern Highlanders.” Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author. In 1904, he left St. Louis and permanently moved to western North Carolina. Living and working in a cabin on Hazel Creek in Swain County, Kephart began to document life in the Great Smoky Mountains. “Our Southern Highlanders” was first published in 1913 and revised in 1922.
