   paid a fee of two shillings for a quarter, a dancing
   master's quarter was reckoned as three weeks duration.
   While the school was being held. the teachers went
   usually to the homes of their pupils in turn at night.
   Where the scholars and neighbours assembled for a
   night's enjoyment.
   At the end of the dancing master's quarter or session
   there was held what was called a "benefit,' at which
   the pupils and parents assembled, and contributed
   toward defraying the expenses of the musician, who
   accompanied the dancing master.
   At the benefit, a large kitchin table was prepared
   and covered with a layer of soap. The elder members
   gave an exhibition by dancing jigs, reels, hornpipes.
   The younger members also gave an exhibition of steps
   learned at their session.
   The elder members usually wore a pair of light boots,
   the uppers of which were made from dog's skin
   tanned by a process of their own, (information on this
   art is not available), each dancer was very proud of
   his dancing shoes, and were only worn on rare occasions.
   In each farm house, there was usually a large flag
   to be found, placed in front of the hearth, and on
   this flag the steps were usually danced.
   The expression "Take the flag" was a common expression
   and survives to this day.
