    Hedge Schools
    There was school taught in an old house in Moolum. It was in Thomas Rochford's field. The seats they were stones and boards on top of them. The master used to go to a forge near by to warm himself. He used to eat his meals at Richard Wallace's house. He got no pay at all.
    There was school taught in Jim White's yard. It was Mr Geoghan that taught school in it. He got no money for teaching.
