- There was an old Hedge-school in Charlie Martin's field one time. The teachers were strangers. They lodged in an old house called Shea's. They were not paid for their instructions. They used to teach English, Arithmetic, Geography. They used not learn Irish. Writing was done with a piece of burned stick on paper. There were no seats but stones to sit on. There was a blackboard. The teachers remained a year in each school. This was about one hundred years ago.
