   My mother Mrs Mc Keon told me Drumsna school was a very big one consisting of two rooms. It was situated along the road. The seats consisted of long blocks of wood to accommodate nine pupils. In these seats there were slits for slates which the pupils did their sums on. They wrote in school on a copy book. There were ink wells in each seat. This school was well furnished. There was a press for holding copy books and reading books and a table and chair for the mistress. An inspector came every year in the month of June. There were about fifty pupils in the school. There was no Irish taught.
