- Long ago the people were taught behind ditches, trees and in different hiding places. A rich farmer employed a teacher to teach his children, about twenty years ago.
The children of long ago took a pencil, slate and ruler with them to school and potatoe cake, and boxty bread for their lunch.
"Have you ever taken potatoes cake,
Or boxty bread to school,
Down under-neath your auxter
with your pencil slate and rule.
The grand father of the present Doherty family of Monagore was the headmaster of a hedge school in the town land of Monagore.- Collector
