    This history was told to me by William McGloin, Grellagh, age 80 years. He heard it from his father who attended Paddy McNulty, the hedge schoolmaster. Every word of it is authentic.
    This old man has remembered the name of the 3rd book used. The first was "Reading made easy", second the "Goff" and then the "Noster". The spelling of words in commas are his pronunciations of words. "Reading made easy" he calls "readymedaisy". This was equal, he explains, to our present infant reader.
