    There was an old school over in the town land of Ballyhurin. The school was held in a dwelling house and it was a man named Doughtery who taught in it. He came from the town land of Glenvar. Master Dougherty was a very good teacher and he made splendid scholars.
    The teacher didn't go a week to more to each pupil's home around this district as they did in other districts.
