  1. Old Schools

    Share Share Post
    There was an old school in a small field owned by Mr. Ned Ryan, Jessefield, Kilmanagh, Co. Kilkenny. Mr. Doran taught there. He taught English, Irish and Arithmetic. He went to different houses every day for his dinner; some days he went to Coak's and other days he went to Walshe's. He had stakes driven down in the ground and switches woven in them to separate the boys from the girls. One day when he returned after dinner he found the division knocked down and he asked the children, "Was it a miraculous ram came from Novia-Scotia to knock down my academy".
