    Old Schools. . . 11 . 1 . 38
    One time there was an old school in Mr Kelly's old forge in Clone. The teacher was Mr Lacey. He did stay at Kelly's for a while and then he went to some other house. The teacher taught English and sums and a little Irish.
    The children use to sit on stones and they brought a bundle of sticks apiece, they had good fire. The children wrote on slates. They had to be in at half-past nine in the morning, and were let home at three o'clock in the evening.
    This story was told to me by my father
