    Share Share Post
    Years ago there was a hedge-school situated in Baltinglass. The school was held in farmers' houses The scholars were taught around tables. The teacher was a stranger to this town He came to it when he was very young. He lived to be 100 years of age and died in Baltinglass Hospital. He was paid and fed by the farmers and also slept in their houses. The books were made by a man named Goff. Writing was taught by a slate and slate pencil.
