    Long ago the people were taught behind ditches, trees and in different hiding places. A rich farmer employed a teacher to teach his children, about twenty years ago.
    The children of long ago took a pencil, slate and ruler with them to school and potatoe cake, and boxty bread for their lunch.
    "Have you ever taken potatoes cake,
    Or boxty bread to school,
    Down under-neath your auxter
    with your pencil slate and rule.
    The grand father of the present Doherty family of Monagore was the headmaster of a hedge school in the town land of Monagore.
