    Folklore.
    There were not many schoolhouses long ago and teachers had to find a sheltery bush or hedge to instruct their pupils.They got very poor pay or no pay in those days,and they got their meals and lodging free from the people of the district.The teachers were forbidden to teach Irish by the English law,but they used to teach it without they knowing it That was the reason they had no schools .Hedge Schools.
