Place & story
Two ways of supporting a school
The historical Ordnance Survey name book for Iveruss records a school at Ballycanauna with 180 boys and sixty girls, all Roman Catholics. Its teacher was paid by the pupils. The Beagh entry describes a separate school with forty-three boys and thirty girls, forty-five of them Protestants, supported by the Hibernian Society. The record thus distinguishes pupil payments at one school from organised support at another, without identifying either teacher. [2]
