Mrs. B. E. Warner was Laura S. Morgan (1892-1982), a sister of Lucy Morgan. Laura S. Morgan married Benjamin Evans Warner in 1914. She learned weaving and pewterwork at the Penland School of Handicrafts and taught at "Kanuga Lake Church Conference" in the summer. Notes on the last page read "Want to demonstrate once for all that a mountain farm can be self-supporting. We intend our farm to demonstrate that we can make more than a bare existence. That crafts can supplement very well a farm income." Questionnaires like this one were the raw data for the exploratory study of the Craft Education Project, a joint undertaking by the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild and the Southern Highlanders. Marian Heard was hired to oversee the planning phase that involved visiting artists and determining the needs of the craftworkers. Her results, often referred to as "The Heard Report," were published as the "Report of an exploratory study looking toward a craft education project ... ." The preliminary project led to an educational program funded by the General Education Board.
