- Old Schools
In this district it is not known of where any hedge schools were carried on. In former times the people paid about five shillings per quarter for their education. They used no copy books but they wrote on slates with slate pencils. There was a blackboard in the school chiefly for the infants use. There were very few desks in the school. So few that all the scholars were unable to sit in them at the same time.- Collector
