Etlrly Years. When Doctor Lillian Johnson, pioneer southern
educator, gave her frame he-use and farm land to the new
School, the founders resolved not to create another formal
institution, but to develop an educational and cultural center tomeet the needs of the students themselves, and of the community.
Hence, during the rst few weeks, the house served chiey
as a community center, where neighbors dropped in for a social
evening of songs and friendly discttssion with the teachers.
Later, a few of the neighbors asked for a discussion class,
and during the first winter, evening classes dealing with psy-
chology, economics, and currcm events, grew naturally out ofthe interests of the community follt.
A few resident students began to live at the school and to
be given individual instruction in writing and speaking. In
addition, each selected a comnutnity activity ranging frommusic classes and. I dramatics cluh to educational meetings
among the miners and relief workers in neighboring communi-
ties. Thus, the three aspects of interrelated activity which the
school now carries on, grew out of the demands of the rst
year:
I-thc residence program of short courses and weekend

_ /A Good School Under Fire
NE 01- our favorite educational institutions in theO whole United States is the Highlander Folk
School at Monteagle, Tennessee. Highlander is it labor
school; its chief purpose is to take promising trade-
union members and equip them better to help their
organizations ght for improved conditions for the
working man. No student is taken unless he is endorsed
by a lotztl union. No distinction is made between AFL
and CIO, both of which cooperate with the school.
In addition to this primary purpose, the school has
two others. lt attempts to aid the people of the little
community where it is lomted; it conducts a nursery
s.}.ooi for people nearby and has sponsored several co-
operative undertakings for them. It also has an exten-
sion division which does eld work of several kinds in
cities near and far.
The direct support of labor is indicated by repre-
sentation on its executive council. This body includes s
vice-president and another representative of the Ameri-
can Federation of Hosiery Workers; the Southern
.:Yi~_"cttor of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers; the
president of the Chattanooga Printing Pressmen, and
a local secretary from the United Mine Workers.
Among many labor groups supporting the school is the
Nashville Trades and Labor Council, AFL.
The schools has friends in other quarters than the
organized labor movement. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
is lteenly interested and maintains a scholarship there.
The benet this month in the national capital is spon-
sored by a Justice of the Supreme Court, members of
the Cabinet and of Congress, s former governor,
administrators of leading federal agencies, two mem-
bets of the National Defense Advisory Commission
and other prominent persons. Mr. J. W. Studebaker,
United States Commissioner of Education, wrote the
committee arrangements: Although I arn %ed
92.-I--1 ....-L 1:, lcnd my name for the sponsorship of
many undertakings and naturally nd it necessary to
decline, I am willing to be one of the sponsors of your
benet. Why do we go into such detail about the support the
Highlander Folk School receives? Because there has
been s long oontinued, vicious campaign in Tennessee
to destroy this institution. Most of the newspapers of
the entire surrounding territory have repeatedly lied
about the school, on such a scale that the falsication
cannot be attributed to an innocent misunderstanding.
The charges have been that the school was commu-
nistic, that it was misleading the young people, and
so on. Dr. James Dombrowsiti, director of the school,
has denied all these charga and has inéatetl his will-
ingness, if it could be proved that the school is un-
_American or is detrimental to the community and to
the people it serves, to put an end to its work. Nobody
has ever brought forward even a fragment of evidence
that the charges are true.
Who is behind the attempt to destroy the High-
lander Folk School? First of all, it is reactionary em-
ployers throughout the entire South, men who object
to the school bemuse it trains people to become suc-
cessful leaders of strong trade unions. Locally, there
is reason to believe that the Tennessee Consolidated
Coal Company has had a good deal to do with the
attack. This company has for years dominated Grundy
County. In I938, for the rst time, a group of county
officials were elected who were not subservient to the
coal company, and the school faculty was active during
the campaign in support of these candidates.
A few weeks ago, feeling was stirred up to such a
pitch that a vigilante group calling themselves the
Grundy County Crusaders planned to march against
the school. If this had been done, blood would cer-
tainly have been shed. At the last minute, the vigilante
leaders were persuaded instead to confer with the
school ocials. As a result of this ve-hour conference,
the tension was relieved somewhat. But there is danger
that it will rise again; there are plenty of people in
Tennessee who dont want a school that prepares e5-
cient spokesmen for labor, and will stoop to almost
anything to destroy it. -T

A place where children may come toplay with other children whom they ordi-
narily do not see. Here they learn the
ways of getting along together.
With their teacher they go on walks
and rides to see the things they like
to see--the big bus in Monteagle, thegrocery store, the well-digger in Buddy's
yard.
At school they have orange crates and
boards to build yheir own "well diggers".
They have hammers and nails, crayons, paints mostly made from poke-berries and roots!and clay which they themselves can dig!.
The teacher sings with the children,
and tells them stories. For some of the
children, it is the first time that anyone-has
ever told them stories.
There are trees to climb, swings to push,ropes to jump. These things help to build E
stronger bodies.

Cumberland Plateau, Monteagle, Tennessee,
is doing it's beet
BUT WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP
The Sumerfild Nursery School, which
has operated with the help of the Highlander
Folk School since June, 1958, 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 that
the coal is used up and the timber isstripped, WPA road work is all there is ta
turn to. Summerfield'B 60 families live
on barren land, housed in the shacks their
grandfathers built--still without elec-
tricity, without plumbing.
In this community, children are the only
riches. These Bonnie Carols and Johnnie
Mass are indeed well loved. Theirisolated life has made them excessivelyshy, but they are happy and bPi¬ht',t§.,

contacts with tin heads of all types of labor organizations. Consequent-
ly, the members of the local labor unions around Grundy County were en-
couraged by him to seek his advice in the organization of any type of
union. HORTON stated that in 1936 his advice about organizing the un-
employed and WPA workers of Grundy County was sought by DOLF VAUGHN.
HORTON stated that he advised VAUGHN that only two unions would be avail-
able for the workers, namely, the Hod Carriers Union affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, and the Workers Alliance. HORTON stated
that in his opinion the Workers Alliance would be run autonomously, re-

in Tennessee could be directed by the Tennessee Council of the CIO from
Chattanooga, Tennessee. HORTON further advised that at this time theHod Cai;iers_Union in the Chattanooga area was under the direct influence
of TED $ELLhaN,,state secretary and organizer for the Comunist Party.
HORTON urther advised that the Workers Alliance in Grundy County
flourished until the latter part of 1939, at which time HERBERT BENJAMIN
and DAVID LASSER disclosed to the Bios Committee that the Workers Al-
liance was dominated by the Communist Party. HORTON advised that he
had a great deal of explaining to do, both to the Executive Board of
the Highlander Folk School and to the local members of the Workers Al-
liance when this fact was disclosed. HORTON stated that he did not know
of the existence of a chapter of the Young Communists League in Eonteagleg
that he had heard through various persons in the neighborhood that C. H.
KILBY, Secretary to the manager of the Consolidated Coal Comany at
Tracy City, Tennessee was showing a membership card for the Young Con-
nunists League around Uonteagle and Tracy City in an effort to connect
this organization with the Highlander Folk School. HORTON stated, how-
ever, that at no tine had any member of the faculty or Executive Board
of the school either organized or obtained memberships in the Young Com-
munists League. It was HORTON's belief that if such a league were start-
ed and were in existence, it must have been the work of TED UELILEN, who
visited the cormmnity frequently from 1936 until 1939.
HORTON also was asked whether he had any in-
formation as to who had been responsible for the placing of the name
of EILLIML LnRLOUE as a presidential elector for the Communist Party
in 1936. It will be noted in reference report that WILLIAM HARLOWE
stated that he believed he was running on the Socialist ticket and that
it was his recollection that KYLES HORTON had first suggested putting
his name on this ticket as a presidential elector. HORTON, however,
denied any knowledge of the fact that HARLOUE's name had appeared on
the ticket and could give no explanation concerning this fact.
Throughout the interview"Agent expressed his
interest in the work of the Highlander Folk School and HYLES HORTON ex-
plained the program of the school, showing the school plant, giving a

great deal of literature which the school had printed, and volunteered
to answer any questions Agent might care to ask.
HORTON stated that the Executive Board of the
school was to meet on January 12, 19142, at which .1e the following .changes would probably be made in the board: RO§igYNOLOS, Chattanooga,-and GEOnGE|TITLER, former secretary of the Uni Line Nbrkers, would bedropped and posdible dditions would be GEORGEIZAYHEN,~of~VanderbiltUniversity, HOLLIS '92.il.E]l!, legislative chairr.i:u'1 of the Firmen and _
Eng eers of -the Imilrcad Brotherhoods of Tennessee, ROBER HOIJGE and _ F?LE.I:lPIEPE{i, CIO director of New Orleans. ' *1 ---- ~~.~-LL.
The Larch edition of the "Highlander Fling",
'ndicates that the new members who"uere elected to the board were LEEISFNWBS, Fisk University, aerican Federation of Teachers, American Federa-,+ien'of Labor, and F. C.;IEP§h, Regional CIO Director, New Orleans.
_;.t this time HORTON volunteered information
concerning; the annual Thanksgiving alumni reunion held at the Highlander
Folk School, Konteagle, Tennessee, November 27, 19141, which information
was reported in report of Special Agent _ entitled "Comzunist
;.ctiviti»es in the State of Tennessee Highlander Folk School!" dated
Ja;'r..=_92.ty 23, l9h2 at Knoxville, Tennessee. At this time HORTON further
stated that the Highlander Folk School was very much interested in the
L;1;nL;g of union officials and members for responsibilities in local
situations involving the prevention of sabotage of plant and mine equip-
ment and defense materials, in production and efficiency methods, air
raid defense, and improvement and maintenance of morale.
IIYLES HORTON also showed the writer a quest
list of the Highlander Folk §c ql, at which time it was noted that thenames of TED 1?n~:LL1;u-I and"@OBERI}IJ1Li§ organizers for the Communist Party
at Chattanooga and Birmingham spectively, appeared quite frequently. -T
.'T~:2n asked about the purpose of their visits HORTON stated that, although
he knew these men to Communists, they were well versed in labor pro-
blems and were invited to give lectures at the Highlander Folk School
as long as they made no mention of Communism or tried to influence any
.e.:-:.L::"s of the student body to become members of the Communist Party.
AT CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE
ROY C. REYNOLDS, president of the Local Press-
nenls Union, the Central Labor Union, and many other labor, liberal, and
front organizations, advised that he had been a temporary member of the
Executive Board of the Highlander Folk School for the year 19140 and part
of 19141; that during this time he represented the Highlander Folk School

in a debate between the Grundy County Crusaders and faculty members of
the Highlander Folk School, which was held at Sewanee, Tennessee.
REYNOLDS stated that at this debate many accusations were hurled by
the Grundy County Crusaders at the Highlander Folk School charging it
with disrupting the morals of the comunity and being affiliated with
the Communist Party, but that none of these charges were specific and
that they were all answered and explained by the faculty members.
REYNOLDS stated that in all his association with the school he could
find no indication 0? either the policy or the program of the school
being dominated by tae Communists. REY0LDS stated, however, that he
believed that the Communists would make every effort to use this school
to their advantage. REYNOLDS stated that he had resigned from the Board
of the Highlander Folk School because he was running for the City Council
in Chattanooga and that the Highlander Folk School had received so much
that school uld be oetrinental in an election campaign. '- =Jadverse publicity in Chattanooga that any affiliation he night have at Qaébgfwe " i

, It is noted that this case was referred upon completion
to the office of origin by the report of Special Agent- 'K70/_ dated at Cha.rlotte,'{North Carolina, March 25, 1942.
It appears that an undeveloped lead at Chapel H:i_'LL, North
Carolina, at that time had not been covered and consequently ~
this case is being reopened for investigative attention.
