John C. Campbell Folk School

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, the success of the Brasstown Farmers' Association and the Savings and Loan Association is reported. The Folk School's interest in all cooperatives as a means to strengthen a community is detailed. Also reported is "Handwork Week" which featured carding and spinning wool and weaving on new looms along with instruction from Clementine Douglas, owner of the Spinning Wheel in Asheville, N.C. and the Women's Community Club making patchwork chair mats and hearth brooms. A plea for financial donations outlines immediate needs as continuing building of the Community House, a machine shed, hog house, and farm equipment. The final pages are an advertisement for Olive Dame Campbell's book The Danish Folk School, and an endorsement of the Folk School by Fred Brownlee, Secretary of the American Missionary Association.
