    (continued from previous page)
    Crowe's drapery shop is now, and the one at Rear Cross was where Mrs. O'Toole is now living. Those schools were built of scraw walls and thatched roofs. The seats that were used were scraws and stones. They used write on pieces of slates with bits of soft stones and on paper with quills and ink, made of elder berries, and they also had blackboards made by a carpenter. The names of the teachers that taught at Rear Cross were Matthew and James Hegarty and the teachers that taught at Kilcommon were John Warden and James Clarke. Teachers were paid by the quarter according to the amount of scholars that were at the school. The teachers used lodge in the neighbours' houses. There was no Irish spoken. These schools existed over thirty years.
