Constellation Similarity Assertions

The Hindman Settlement School was established at Hindman, Knott County, Kentucky in 1902 with funding from the Women's Christian Temperance Union. In 1915 it became an independent, non-denominational corporation whose purpose was to "maintain a school for industrial, intellectual and moral training in the mountainous, destitute or needy portions of Kentucky." In addition to basic academic subjects there were courses in manual arts, home economics, agriculture, folk art, and music. Facilities grew to include a grade and high school, library, manual arts training shop, model farm, sawmill, hospital, dormitories, and recreation building. As the county school system assumed more responsibility for the area's education, the settlement school began focusing on adult education and developed in-service training programs for public school teachers in the areas of creative writing, art, and music.
