Excerpt from The Rabun Industrial School: And Mountain School Extension Work Among the Mountain Whites (by One of Them)The object of this prospectus is to ask assistance for a work to which the writer has felt himself moved in behalf of a people which he believes are today the most important element in the South or on the American Continent to be reached by education - namely, the isolated and unlettered white people of the Southern Appalachian mountains.This work is one to which I have been impelled from a sense of patriotic duty and responsibility, and at the sacrifice of personal interests-which it has been necessary to make to undertake such a work in this needy field. The county in which the work has been projected is the county in which I was born and reared. These mountain people are my own people. I know their great potential worth, and the priva tions and destitutions by which they are surrounded. The disadvantages under which they labor are so great that no material improvement of their educational status is possible in this generation unless they shall have assistance from the outside, and unless some one shall undertake to secure this assistance for them by enlisting the interest of the outside world in their condition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
