| Description | Correspondence and notes from Marjorie Wise discussing activities and lessons at Dartington Hall School. Letters mention the progress of early pupils, staff, classes and teaching methods, the Education Committee and Recorders Meetings. Later letters from Dorothy Elmhirst mention Whitney Straight's war time experiences (1940); and Leonard Elmhirst and his trade mission in America (also 1940). A brief report recounts Wise's visits to Devon rural schools as part of the organisation of a rural teacher training department at Dartington, describing Devon schools, circa 1930. These visits were reported fully in her 1931 book, English Village Schools (London: Hogarth Press). |
