Henry Ford Helps Mountain School
In Kentucky two Ford mine camps maintain isolated county schools with higher attendance and better staffing. Ford adds $2000 yearly for a six month term plus three extra months funded by the mines, keeping nine months teaching with a superintendent and assistant at each camp. The aim is to educate miners' children and curb illiteracy, with truancy reduced and students enjoying school.
