There was a hedge school in Martin Pehlan's field in Ballyfacey. The teacher that taught their was Patrick Butler. He used to teach during the day and then again at night. There would be no school of a fair day because the teacher used to go to the fair. He used to get his meals in a different boy's home day by day. He used to sleep in Mullin's barn in Flemingstown. About fifty pupils attended that school. The teacher used to be paid by the parents each week. The children had but one book and a small arithmetic.
