"Men Full of Ancient Skill Are Dying With Their Secrets."

Bates discusses the melancholy status of the "country craftsmen, blacksmiths and carpenters, coopers and hurdle-makers, thatchers and wood-turners, makers of skittle-balls, shepherd-hooks, baskets, bells, and cloth" who were "once the axes about which all village life revolved." In the London Evening News (October 12, 1937, p. 8).
