Abstract:

Credited with bringing the act of finger painting to scholastics as a medium for teaching art as early as 1929, Ruth Faison Shaw remains the initiator of the much adored painting method. Discovered while caring for an injured student, Shaw spread the new technique through her European travels, eventually bringing the progression back to the United States, where it was incorporated into curriculums across the country.

Abstract:

Among the Waldensians of Valdese, there's a fraternal and humanitarian order called, \"Le Phare Des Alps.\" An exclusive order, with its membership strictly limited to men of the highest character, \"Le Phare Des Alps\", rooted in Southern France and Northern Italy, is a means to retain certain features of the transplanted Waldensians Old World lifestyle in the New World. Aside from service to its members, the aim of, \"Le Phare Des Alps\", is to make the Waldensian Community in North Carolina more cooperative as well as to, \"infuse the population with a spirit of mutual helpfulness.\"
