Mrs. Camp bell and Miss Butwer, during a trip through North arolina, spent two nights at Farm School and had the opportunity of watching fine ex hibition of gymnastics by the 100 old boys Mr. Bidstrup had trained. They also stopped at the State Col lege of Agriculture to interview Dr. Carl Taylor who is on the Advisory j Committee of the Folk-school; it was j at his request that Mrs. Campbell spoke to a Grange meeting near Raleigh on the work of the school. Dr. hj. C. Branson, likewise a member of the advisory Board, was their hose for one night at Chanel Hill; Mrs. Campbell and Miss Butler had met him several years ago during their studies in Denmark. Miss Butler went to Cincinnati for a week after this trip and gave several talks be foie join Mrs. Campbell, Miss Louise Pitman, and Miss Elizabeth Gates at Knoxville where the annual confer ence of Southern Mountain Warkers took place the end of March: The conference was more interesting than ever, one of the most significant events being an exhibition under the Southern Mountain Handcraft Guild cf handcrafts from thirty-two schools and centers, splendidly . directed and arranged by Mr. Allen Eaton. The articles contributed by the Brasstown Handicraft Association were very favorable commented upon.

Miss Elizabeth Gates went north this past week to be on her Connecticut farm until October when she will come back to Brass town. The Reverend James B. Sargent of Varmont, who became interested in rural (conditions through firs. Campbell’s book on the Danish Folk school, visited here the beginning of March; he wants very much to work out a similad1 plan in his own state.
