    In the penal times no teacher could teach or they would be shot, so they used to teach in houses. There was a school where Sheridans live now near the "Cut". There were 30 children going to it & they paid a penny a week. There was a settlebed in the corner of the house & the master used to sleep there. Master Sheridan was his name. He taught grammar, geography, arithmetic, spellings, & writing.
