- There was a Hedge-School in Magherow. It is called a Hedge-School because the teaching was done beside the hedge. They used to sit on the sunny side of the hedge.
There were no books in plenty as they are now. All they had was a slate, and slate pencil. They were well taught in reading, writing, and arithmetic. There were no Hedge-Schools in Winter.
The children of long ago were very fond of learning. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
