- There was a hedge-school in Parke long ago. It was held in a barn. The seats that were in it were stones. Michael Coen was the teacher. The writing was done on a slate with slate pencil. The teachers that time were very poor. They got no pay at all from the Government, but the children used to give them some money. The teacher slept in the pupil's houses.
