Thought
of
as
a hundred years ago all the pioneers pushed way this
but here in these mountains some of them stayed to from the photo lab to live well
by accident down and class.
Now the land is no longer rich the crop a smaller every year
but the people remains hemmed in by the mountains cut off from the changing world
outside the man who first brought the land planted cause today Karna still lay on
the crops far Sagar the current sales drop the hillsides where once there were
Hickory and chestnut as.
Then who lopped off the far I said dead their graves are on the crest of the hill.
But the land remains
and the sounds of the sons of the men who cleared it still plant the carnage from
the same old shape around of the years finds them aloft in old ways
that lives set in old patterns in a worn out groove new ideas are not easy to come
by when learning passes from mouth to mouth from father to shark.
And I will meet all of them with you on the
early you won't you know them.
We want all the movies you want not the Nine them
all you need them home won't
you be the wall.
No
one but it won't blow your right from the cold
when it was a wonder if you love your friends
but won't live in my idea.
I don't want to know a lot of the takes my bad solution.
I didn't see it get my thought. I don't want to lose.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you rather
follow this fellow
my I have my the last through now.
Karn and proc cornpone.
And proc sausage
and proc gravy the hogs slaughtered in the fall must last the winter the
hog provides the shortening for the con bread the need for the sausage
and the grease for the gravy. Often there isn't enough to eat.
Never the right things to eat the green vegetables
and milk the cows have for teeth
and biology as well vitamins to prevent rickets
and skin weak bones from poor food for food from poor
land kids growing up to the same years of hunger babies being
born without a chance of strong bodies babies are good people proud people.
Found the daughter as a pioneer. Cousins of the people who built America.
This is the school twenty four children go to the school.
Some of them live a long way off
in the spring there is much in the winter there is snow
here in this room the children learn to read to write
and to figure they use the same books
that all the other children in the state use the same books as the children use in
mining towns in mill towns
and great industrial centers some of them are good books
but they talk about another kind of war the books do not tell of how to rotate
crops
and what makes balanced farming they do not name the way lessons can be applied to
the mountain people the children learn to call the word make seventeen.
This is not enough the mountain people live close to the earth in the sky
and all the call of every wild bird and where the best herbs grow.
They know the name of every tree and where the Hornets have their nests.
I do not know what to do about their own lack of food and clothing and show.

Now
that the it said Mr Curtis one day run as the great greatest factor in
to says it's for young talent to learn the silliest theory ask and I get it.
He and his then I say. Now let her have it out.
I say
that father tears as I said I can't take a
young fellow like a young man to start out his policy essays he
gets a little nest egg in the bank to give to charity give
that some good investment our share
and the base which here can carry as our air quality the rest
that gives the best which he can fall back upon because he rocked back his flash
cards and has not enough started Eric Cantor can't get that here at
that tap in the air that they can go to
that kind of shell in five years say demonstrating they must study
that he is the terrorists there.
Next year the children will study materials prepared in their own community to
teach them facts of silence along with reading
and writing somehow
someway the old folks manage to get along the children
must learn a new way the land is tired of gone
but small part of it can be enriched by raising vegetables
children must learn to raise goats remember
they must learn to read Laura's health too late now for their own
children must live.
