Three schools were studied: Hindman Settlement School (KY), Pine Mountain Settlement School (KY), and Crossnore School, Inc. (NC). The purpose of the study was to determine the type and extent of services provided, the relationship of the settlement schools with their respective county public school system, and the transfer, if any, of integrated services from the settlement schools to public schools as the public schools took over educational responsibilities once offered by the settlement schools. The conclusions of this study were that extensive integrated services were offered, changing in type over time, the relationship of the settlement schools with their respective county public school systems was, for the most part, cooperative and sometimes collaborative, and there was no transfer of integrated services from the settlement schools to the public schools. Instead, the settlement schools became an integrated service to the public schools. An additional finding was that Pine Mountain Settlement School engaged in a primitive form of privatization with the Harlan County Board of Education. * Further, all three settlement schools, through the wide range of services offered, were builders of communities. iii INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD APPROVAL This is to certify that the following study has been filed and approved by the Institutional Review Board of East Tennessee State University.

DEDICATION This work is dedicated to the people of Southern Appalachia and to those who serve them, past and present. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many to whom I wish to express my gratitude for their support and assistance in the completion of my doctoral work. Most importantly, I wish to thank my family, near and far, for their patience and encouragement. For them, especially, this has been a trying time, as much of my i time has been dominated by the demands of this work. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Dr. West, my major advisor. This dissertation could never have been completed without his skillful and patient guidance. He encouraged me from the onset to be a risk-taker in the development of this dissertation. I wish, also, to express my appreciation for the advice and support given me by my other advisors. Dr. Gresso, perhaps without realizing it, kept me mindful of the importance of culture as I conducted my study. Dr. Odom, a historian, advised me on numerous occasions on matters related to historical research. Dr. Marie Hill has served as a role model to me and taught me well the "hardiness theory." I am grateful for the support of all my fellow Cohort IV members, and a special thanks go to Cohort members Nancy Wagner and Mike Carter. Also, I wish to acknowledge the encouragement I received from my good friend and fellow vi
