The Summerfield Nursery Schocl, on the
Cumberland Plateau, Monteagle, Tennessss,
ja doing it's best
BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP
The Summerfild Nursery School, which
has operated with the help of the Highianucer
Folk School since June, 1938, cares for
about 20 children, aged 3-5. The school
is open the year round, and welcomes all
children free of charge.
The parents of these children once
worked in coal and timber. But now thut
the coal is used up and the timber ia
stripped, WPA road work is all there ia t92
turn to. Summerfield's 60 families live
on barren land, housed in the shacks their
grandfathera built--still without slec-
tricity, without plumbing.
In this community, children are the only
riches. These Bonnie Carois and Johnnie
Maes are indeed wall loved. Their
{isolated life haa made them excessively
shy, but they ares happy and bright.
