    There was a hedge - school between Ballymoe and Farm in a village called Bookla. James O Leary was the teachers name. It was a thacthed building. all English was taught. The school got bad and the people went to Drematemple. it was over 100 years old. The scholars wrote with quills. Each scholar brought a sod of turf every day. They made chalk themselves from potter clay. They got the clay out of drains and set it.
