Hi
Civic Club Hears
Talk On Work of
Mountain Folk School
The Civic Club met Monday af
ternoon and after a short business
meeting conducted by the presi
dent, Miss Louise' Haynes, Mr.
and Mrs. Georg Bidstrup, direc
tors of the John C. Campbell Folk
School of Brasstown, N. C., were
introduced. They brought with
them beautiful articles in wood
carving, weaving and iron work
done by people living in the
mountains.
The school is patterned more or
less on the Danish folk schools
and teaches the art of joyous and
creative living, in work with the
hands, both practical and artistic.
The motto of the school is “I sing
' behind the plough”—and it is a
! venture in the enrichment of rural
life.
One of the native wood carvers
has made a special study of angry
mules, which he has carved in va-
ilH
rious stages of anger, so success
fully and truthfully that the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York has the carvings on-ex
hibition, and the carver, John
Hall, has received fan letters from
all over the country praising
them.
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.
After the illustrated talk by
Mrs. Bidstrup, there was a sale of
I the beautiful work, and tea was
served. Mrs. Don^d Case and
. Mrs. Thomas Hobson poured, and
I the other hostesses were Mrs. W.
S. Bushby, Mrs. Frank Hale, Mrs.
Gordon Clark, and Mrs. J. 'Wallace
Allen.
