    Many years ago there was a school at Nadd in the house of a farmer. The teacher was Mr. T. O'Hanlon and was a member of a well known North Cork family. During the fine weather he taught in a field close by. He began each morning at nine o'clock and most of his scholars were there before him. He taught Irish, English, Latin, and Arithmetic. He depended on the little subscriptions brought him by his pupils to provide him clothes and lodging. He continued his good work for three years and I am unable to find out what became of him then.
