During the first third of this century, several movements working for reform in American education and culture used folklore as the key ingredient for remedying especially troublesome social problems. Active in those movements, Allen H. Eaton, Percival Chubb, Constance Rourke, and Sarah Gertrude Knott-who were brought together by the first National Folk Festival over 60 years ago-championed folklore's therapeutic value through their exhibitions, festivals, and writings about such events. Their thoughts and work place these four reformist educators squarely in the ancestral line of contemporary public folklorists, but the deep impression their work has made on the public mind continues to shape the broad understanding and reception of allfolklorists' work
