   Folklore
   Old Schools

   In Ballyclare, Ferbane, Offaly, there was a hedge school. It was in the open air and the master used to sit on a big rock while the pupils stood about him. That rock is to be seen yet. Each evening the master used to go to a farmer's house to stay. When he had about two months teaching done he moved to another district. But he got no money for teaching except the food he used get in his lodging house. Sometimes when the master would be leaving a district the pupils would make a collection among themselves and give it to him. The language that was spoken between them was English and they used to write on slates.
   I heard this from my mother Mrs. Elizabeth Cassidy, Killygally, Belmont, Offaly.
