Three times this winter we have had
visitors from Asheville Farm school;
just last week Mr. Arthur Banner
man, one of the staff, came with
Miss Patton of Swannonoa and Mr.
Cooley, a farmer teacher, to learn
as much as he could about the John
C. Campbell Folk school. Mrs. E.
If. James of Concord, Massachusetts,
likewise came here through her in
terest in education, after visiting the
Berry school near Rome, Georgia, and
several other places. We are always
on the lookout for visitors who come
from far and near to look over the
Folk school from the various points
of view of education, ^agriculture,
and social work; and we are glad to
have them come.
A PROCLAMATION
