   Another Old School:

   There was an old school on our land in a place called "Poll na Hana". If the weather was fine, the people used to stay outdoors and if it was bad they used to stay indoors. He was a man named Mr Healy who taught in it. School was not carried on in the farmers' houses. The subjects taught in it were reading, wriiting, arithmetic and Latin. Irish was spoken by the teacher and the pupils. It was used in teaching the subjects. Writing was done in those old schools on a slate with a slate pencil. They used to write on their knees sitting on big stones.
   (Francie Browne from his grandmother, Mr Susan Rynn, Aughrim, Ballinaglera)
