Another of''the workers at the school has several round-faced children which she uses for mod els for her exquisite Christmas angels, and her carvings for the Nativity scenes, that are in great demand. Although the school was started primarily for the encouragement and enrichment of the lives of the lonely mountain people, it is now attended by pupils of aU ages from every part of the United States.
