We arrivedat Hyden, Kentucky, in Leslie County at 9 o'clock andwere taken by bus and truck to the two schools, neitherof which could be reached by car. The one-room schoolat Polks Creek, attended by 20 small children, was littlemore than a rough log construction with cracks admittingthe bitter mountain cold. The building hadabsolutely no insulation and was heated by :( small potbelliedwood-burning stove. The teacher told us thatshe had to keep the smaller children gathered aroundit. The other school was almost in equally bad condition.We began work immediately.
