- In this district long ago the teachers used to teach the children in the houses of the people. It was the parents who used to pay them. They got but twelve shillings a year.
There was a teacher in Lehid whose name was Mr. Haferty. He was a stranger and he was a good teacher. He taught no Irish but would slap children if he heard them speak it.
The scholars wrote on slates with slatepencils.
The master taught the children in classes. He sat on a chair when teaching. The children used to have an English book, a catechism and an arithmetic.
