1) 1890s ~ Irish Hedge Schools - Apart from his
professional duties, the hedge schoolmaster was an important character in an
Irish village. He was frequently the moving spirit and director of the local
Ribbon or Whiteboy organisation, and presided at the meetings, and regulated
the proceedings of these illegal societies, and as a consequence not
unfrequently suffered the last penalty at the hands of the law. The scholars
were naturally trained in the principles of their master. Personal hatred
and feelings of revenge towards those who were of different religious or
political belief were carefully instilled into their minds from their
infancy, and the books studied in school were as gross as superstitious.
"The History of Freney, the Robber," "Irish Rogues and Rapparees,"
"The Holy Scapular," "The Doleful Fall of Andrew Sall," and other
improving literature of the same nature were read as school books. The hedge
schoolmaster was a tyrant. Unmerciful floggings with ruler, birch, or the
prickly branch of a furze bush were inflicted upon the children of those
parents whose poverty could not purchase immunity from punishment by
frequent presents, but in the latter part of the last century the general
severity practised in schools was of such a nature that only exceptional
barbarity provoked retaliation. Under the old system in Ireland
schoolmasters were at a premium, and great efforts were made to obtain the
services of one of renown. Carleton has preserved an advertisement for a
teacher, issued many years ago in the County of Sligo. It runs as follows:-
"Notes to Schoolmasthers, and to all others whom it may consarn. Take notes.
That any Schoolmaster who understands Spellin gramatically. Readin and
Writin in the raal way, according to the Dixonary. Arithmatick - that is to
say, the five common rules, namely, simple addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division, and addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division of Dive's denominations. Also reduction, up and down, the Rule of
Three direck, the Rule of Three in verse, the Double Rule of Three.
Frackshins taught according to the vulgar and decimatin method. N.B. - He
must be well grounded in that. Practis, Discount, and Rebatin. N.B. - Must
be well grounded in that also. Tare and Tret, Fellowship, Rate per Scent,
Allegation, Barther, Intherest, Exchange, Prophet in Loss, the Square Root,
the Kibe Root, Hippothenuse, Arithmatical and Geometrical Purgation,
Loggerheadism, Questions for Exercise, and the Conendix to Algibbra. He must
also know Jommethry according to Grunther's scale, the Castigation of the
Klipstics, Surveying, and the use of the Jacobstaff. Above all things, he
must know how to tache the Sarvice of Mass in Latin, and be able to read
Doctor Gallher's Irish Sarmints, and explain Kolumkill's and Pastorini's
Prophecies. N.B. - If he understands Cudgelfencin', it would be an
accusation also, but mustn't tache us wid a staff that bends in the middle,
bekase it breaks one's head across the guard. Any schoolmasther capacious
and collified to instruct in the above-mintioned branches would get a good
school in the townland of Findramore and its vircinity, be well fed, and get
the hoith of good livin' among the farmers. N.B. - The two last masters that
was hanged out of Findramore - that is, Mickey Corrigan, who was hanged for
killing the Aagent, and Jem Garraghty, that died of a declension. Jem died
in quensequence of ill-health, and Mickey was hanged contrary to his own
wishes, so it wasn't either of their faults. As witness our hands, this 27th
of July, 18004 - Evening Standard.
2) Lisburn Fever Case - Information was received in
Lisburn yesterday announcing the death of the boy Francis Convery, who was
admitted to the Purdysburn Hospital on the night of the 27th inst, The
deceased, who was the son of Mr. John Convery, publican, Longstone Street,
took ill on the 23rd inst., and was under treatment in his father's house
until the 27th, when the disease was declared by the doctors in attendance
to be cerebro-spinal meningitis. Mr. Convery then called in a consultant
from Belfast, who confirmed the diagnosis of the local doctors. Death
occurred early yesterday morning. The sanitary authority is alive to the
seriousness of the visitation, and the house of Mr. Convery, as well as
other residences in the vicinity, have been promptly disinfected. ~
