Old schools.
Long ago the children were taught in schools which were far different from those of to-day. About 90 years ago they had no schools only barns ,and all the children would gather together .Schools used be held in farmer's houses and all the children of the locality would assemble there, and pay a teacher to teach them.
They used have a school in Johny Rochfords' Knockbeha ,Flagmount, Feakle,Co Clare and also at Frank Kiely's Knockbeha ,Flagmount, Feakle ,Co Clare and at Dan Moloney's Knockbeha ,Flagmount ,Feakle ,Co Cllare.The Moloneys built an olso school for their own children behind their own house.(continues on next page)
