    Between seventy and eighty years ago there was a school held at the house of Mr. Andrew O'Callaghan who lived at Knock. The teacher used stay in the house and pay the farmer for his lodging out of the money which the children brought him weekly. He taught Irish, English, Arithmetic and Latin. He had upwards of thirty scholars attending this school. The teacher taught those scholars all he knew and on that account he turned out some very good scholars, who had a good store of knowledge when they faced out on the world.
