Quoted food for thought:

"What are the limits of "education" as an approach to progressive social change in the midst of a rapidly expanding industrial economic and social order?  What ethical warrant has one to decide what is "good" or "bad," progressive or not, "useful" or not, in a culture other than one’s own?….May cultural traditions that flourished amidst one set of historical circumstances be "preserved" or "reinforced" amidst another set?  And if so, with what costs and benefits?  And to whom?"  (David Whisnant, All That is Native and Fine, p. 20)

"Craft work, Goodrich believed, was a way for the people to stay on their family farms until the blessings of education and community would allow them to build Appalachia into New England, or at least a reasonable facsimile."  (Jan Davidson, Introduction to Frances Louisa Goodrich’s Mountain Homespun, p. 3)
