There are a lot of those old schools (shools shcl) knocked down. There was an old school in Drumanspic. The masters name was Niochlas Clarke. he had no home to stay in at night and he would go home with one child one night and another the next night. That was what he did adn the way he paid the people for keeping him was helping them to work after school.

    Friday night is my delight
    And I so is Saturday morning
    But Sunday night I get a fright
    When I think of school in the morning
