Description: Tamassee, South Carolina, By the authors, 1922. Two circulars; 11 x 8 1/2 and 8 1/2 x 5 1/2; single sheets, text to rectos only; faint crease lines, else very minor wear - in very good to near fine condition. Two circulars from the then fairly-new institution, both implored people to pledge money and donate for its continued operation. The Tamassee School was founded by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1919 - to serve the underprivileged, "mountain" children of Appalachia. It boarded girls, but had both boys and girls as day pupils, and offered night and summer classes for adults. The school thrives to this day. One of the two papers, titled: "Why Tamassee?," outlined the specific projects the school board was attempting to accomplish and the necessary funds, ie. $6000 for a cottage dormitory, $1500 for lighting system, etc. The second specifically advocated for raising money for the Arts and Crafts Department.
