  1. Hedge-Schools

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Taash, there was a hedge school. It was a small pig house. There had to be people on the watch all the time. They had no books - slates they used. The master wrote the headline for each. He got no money - but every boy brought a sod of turf or butter or milk.
