  1. There was a hedge school for many years, for many years, from 1850 to 1894, in Inchintotane, Newmarket. It was held the farmhouse now owned by Mr. Eugene Nunan.
    The teacher was Mr. John Sullivan, who, lived in the school. All subjects were taught through the medium of English. Each child paid a small sum of money quarterly for his instruction.
    The children made their own slates and pencils. The teacher sometimes made steel-pins from quills. English, Arithmetic, writing and a little Geography were taught.
