Margaret Motter often traveled around the country seeking financial donors for the Pine Mountain Settlement School. To that end, she spoke before various groups, using anecdotes and quotes to depict the nature of the mountain people and describing the mission, activities, and accomplishments of the School, as well as its needs. The following are several of the notes she wrote in the late 1940s to aid her in presenting her talks.<\/p>\n
