- There was an old school in Co Mayo. The school was in a barn. The teachers taught Latin, French, and English. In those days, there were no pens the children wrote with quills.
The teachers pay was very small, every boy brought him a shilling a week. When they had not place for all the children he moved to another barn.- Collector
