    Mr. Creagh, Lyragh, Milford, taught in one of the local "Hedge Schools" & the pupils brought two or three pence every week to pay him. English books only were used. Slate pencils were used & the children sat on a flag which was placed on two stones. The teachers remained about a week in each district & the children's fees depended on the classes in which they were. It is said that there was an old school in Ballyhane, Milford.
