    The only seats they had were a few big stones and a rough plank placed across them. The pupils paid the teacher by the quarter. The teacher was kept in the pupils' houses. The subjects that were taught were English, Latin and Greek. There was no Irish taught because the Irish people were afraid of the English to speak Irish.
