Notes: The Schools Collection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following excerpt has been taken from the Schools Collection which is essentially a gathering of local folklore that Irish school children were asked to compile during the 1930\u00e2\u20ac™s. The story is about a hedge school in Callowhill, Monaghan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcribed from the above story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a hedge school situated in the townland of Callow Hill in the parish of Currin. The teacher’s name was Anne Sheridan and she taught in her house. Every pupil brought her a penny a week and this is how she was paid. There were between thirty and forty scholars attending this school. The children were taught reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic and Latin. The reading book was called the “Mansel” and every pupil had the universal spelling book. There was no Irish taught in this school. The children all sat on little stools or big round stones covered with bags. Each pupil had a slate and wrote on it with state pencils. The slates were of a blue and black colour and the pencils used to write white. The best scholar received pins as prizes and when they got their package of pins they were “made up”.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
