    There was once a small hedge school in the village of Balleymana in the county of Galway. It was near Tom Ruenns house. Tom Ruenns house is near the National School of Balleymana. That hedge school was indoors. The scholars had to bring a penny and a sod of turf every Monday morning. The master lodged in a farmers house near by. All Irish was taught in this school. Master and pupils had all Irish. Slates and Doib Buidhe was used for writing. There were stones used for seats. There was a black board in the school also.
