This man after his night's teaching, stayed in the farmer's house. Some of the pupils gave the master a half-penny, a penny, or even a lb of sugar or tea or a loaf of bread for their night's instruction and the man of the house gave him his night's support and his lodging free in return for his sons and daughters got. About one hundred and fifty years ago this school was in our district.
