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. ~

? Watch, Destroyer in Action: Twenty-three-year-old Marion Griffiths and her
20-year-old friend Betty Evans, munitions workers, whose "shop" holds the
record output for fuses used in pom-pom guns, have just had the surprise of
their lives. After being called to London to tell Ministry of Supply
officials of their work, they were taken on an unexpected visit to a
destroyer at sea to meet their "customers" - the first ever to do so. Just
as they were climbing aboard, the crew of the pom-pom batteries had to jump
to action stations following an air-raid warning. After the "raiders passed"
the girls were examining the belt of shell used, when they were? delighted
to discover that the ? caps had been made by their own "shop." A spot of red
paint and a few tiny letters gave them the clues. Marion and Betty were
shown all over the destroyer, given tea and loaded with souvenirs. The
factory has now "adopted" the ship, and before long a hundred sailors at sea
will be receiving letters from 50 munitions girls from a factory "somewhere
in Britain" as well as even more fuses. - Great Sacrifice Made

- Peaceful State of Co. Down, Assizes Review, Very Little Crime: The members
of the Grand Jury, of which Mr. H. A. Moore, D.L., was foreman, were
congratulated by Mr. Justice MacDermott at the opening of County Down
Assizes at Downpatrick to-day on the peaceful state of the county. His
Lordship said there were 21 bills, involving some 17 persons, to go before
them. The most serious case for trial was one of robbery with violence, but
in that case a true bill was found at the Spring Assizes. The cases that
would come before them were very much of the ordinary type. There was one
case against two young boys who had escaped from a reformatory in Belfast.
They were charged with breaking and entering premises. It was alleged by the
police that the offence occurred after they had escaped and before they were
recaptured. Dealing with the state of the county, his Lordship said that
since last Assize the number of specially reported cases was 110, compared
with 91 for the corresponding period of last year. Having considered the
different returns he was satisfied that there was not any significance in
the slight increase. Housebreaking and breaking into shops charges were very
much the same as this time last year. The number of housebreakings specially
reported last year was 19 and this year was 24. There were 18 breakings into
shops last year and this year there were 14. The returns showed very little
crime in the county and no political crime and that was a matter on which
the county was to be congratulated. It was a happy augury, his Lordship
added, that at the first Assize in the county since peace came to Europe
that the county was in such a peaceful condition. - Ulster Tourist Industry.

- Children Make the Most of Their Holidays: You may see these days crowded
tramcars passing through the streets - the old red trams, with singing,
shouting children packed in the open ends and crowding the stairs in
defiance of all the by-laws. These are Holidays-at-Home vehicles and are
carrying their loads to entertainments provided specially for
school-children. We boarded ours outside the school the other morning, and
when the conductor saw our two orderly lines he smiled approvingly at the
discipline, for it looked like being an equable voyage for him. But inside
two minutes he was up on the top deck to rescue his trolley-line from a
youth who was testing it like an angler playing a fish. He could speak four
languages, this conductor, and had a "Telegraph" cutting to prove it; he
used all four of them in explaining why boys mustn't dangle their legs on
the outside of the upper rail, or do gymnastics on the bar, or otherwise
show a lack of civic spirit. Incidentally, that conductor must surely
give Belfast a record in municipal transport, for his languages aren't his
only accomplishment. The children started to sing. The choir in the upper
regions got going with "You Are My Sunshine," while down below they bellowed
in rivalry "She'll be Coming Round the Mountain." The result
evidently pleased the safely-removed citizens on the pavement, judging by
the smiles they threw at us as we passed, but for non-combatants aboard the
tram the effect was devastating. Teachers could do nothing about it, and the
driver rolled his eyes upward in speechless agony and banged the bell with
his foot. But what did the conductor do? You'll hardly believe it, but he
dived behind his box on the platform and rose with a bow in one hand and a
violin in the other. He held them up above his head, and the cacophony in
the lower saloon gradually died away. Then he started off with "Lily
Marlene." The rivals up above were slow to catch on and triumphantly
continued their bellowing, but our musician climbed the stairs and took up
the tune where the lower choir had brought it, and so, in harmony for the
first time, we rolled down the Woodstock Road, the only tram in the British
Isles with a fiddling conductor. ** That morning we were
bound for the Hippodrome, lent to the children through the kindness of Mr.
G. L. Birch. The first item on the programme was a request for cheers for
Mr. Birch, and that kindly man must have felt some anxiety for his theatre,
for the wholehearted yell that answered must have come very near to lifting
the roof. There is no audience so enthusiastic as one of children; there is
none so critical, either, and certainly none so frank in letting the
artistes know just how their act is coming across. It doesn't matter whether
or not you've a world-famous name, or whether you get the most fulsome
build-up from the compére - to please children you've got to have what they
want. It must therefore have been gratifying to the performers at this show
to be received with the enthusiasm which greeted them, for it was no mere
polite approval; the question of manners didn't enter into it at all.
If a juggler made a false start he was told about it - loudly and frankly,
from all parts of the house. But when he pulled his trick off successfully,
the approval was equally whole-hearted. If the sincerity of a childish
audience could for one month be imbued into all theatre-goers and radio
fans, there would be a startling revolution in modern vaudeville, and
probably a chastening of some established stars. But we were lucky
that morning. Some of the acts were by children no older that the audience.
One of the performers was much smaller than the rest of the team, and at
once was evident that peculiarly British trait of backing the weaker side.
Cries of "Gwan the wee one!" came from all over the auditorium, and when the
little chap made a slight miscalculation in his dance routine there was
immediately an outbreak of encouraging applause and cries of support. One
chivalrous soul, in a very loud voice, even demanded that the other dancers
"wait for the wee buck." Nobody came in for more outspoken comment
that the conjuror. Thousands of keenest eyes in Belfast watched every move.
He dropped an egg, which bounced, and hundreds of suspicious young sceptics
at once yelled "Yah - rubber!" He pulled a piece of very blatant deception -
the blatancy was deliberate, of course - and cries of derision and withering
scorn immediately assailed him. They changed with equal facility to the
"Aw-luk!" of incredulity when the miracle was completed. He had to know his
job, that man, for not only was his audience determined to catch him out but
the member of it called to the stage to assist him was thirsting to win
undying fame by spotting something, and examined everything with a
thoroughness and suspicion that will lead him into police work if he can
keep it up. That sort of entertainment is only one part of the
Holidays-at-Home programme as it applies to the school-children. There are
others, including visits to Bellevue. As far as possible teachers tried to
see that the tickets for them went to boys and girls who weren't getting
away from the city at any time during their six weeks' holiday. They may
miss the seaside, but they certainly enjoy the substitute, and it will repay
any of the people responsible for the arrangements if they go with one of
the parties some time and see just how much joy their efforts are bringing
the children. (Assistant) (I don't know who wrote this but they did an

- Seen and Heard. Visit Set a Fashion. The visit of Queen Victoria to
Belfast in 1849, to which reference was made on this page on Tuesday, gave
rise to a custom in connection with the dress of the Harbour Commissioners.
The Commissioners had arranged to present an address to Her Majesty, and it
was decided that at the function the members should wear a blue dress coat
lined with white silk, plain collar and gilt buttons to be designed with a
foul anchor and crown and the words "Belfast Harbour Commission" in a raised
circle. The waistcoat was to be white cashmere, trousers blue, with black
stock and round hat. The Commissioners ordered that this should henceforth
by considered the uniform of the Trust in its corporate capacity and worn in
public as such. For some reason the words on the buttons were altered to
Belfast Harbour Corporation. As the years went by, however, this somewhat
elaborate uniform became out of harmony, and gave way to a form of dress
more in keeping with the times. Lamplighters. The once familiar
lamplighter with his long pole is back in some parts of the city following
the return of full-scale lighting. For some years prior to the war the
lamplighter's pole was more or less a thing of the past in Belfast owing to
the increasing use of automatic switches. Shortage of spare parts, however,
and in particular of by-passes which perform the lighting operation in the
lamps themselves, has forced the Gas Department to revert to the manual
system in some of the suburbs. Although the long pole of the lamplighter is
now practically an anachronism in Belfast, the lamplighter is still an
important member of the staff. He would be more correctly described,
however, as a lamp maintenance man - his principal job is to see that the
lamps are kept in working order. There are some 100 lamplighters on the
staff at the moment, by no means too many considering that the city has
something like 7,000 street lamps in full operation and another 9,000 which
are coming back into service again as soon as they can be equipped with
parts. "Make-up." "Does make-up add to a woman's charm?"
was one of the questions put at a public Brains Trust in Belfast on Tuesday
evening. Dr. Joad, in his reply, mentioned that when a cook had a poor
joint of meat to deal with it required more treatment to make it acceptable
to the palate than did a better cut which required very little treatment. A
face that was good-looking needed very little, if any, make-up, whereas one
that was ugly required much more. As to the question of charm, well, that
depended on the woman. Another member of the Trust observed that, judging
from the contents of chemists' shops men went in for make-up too - it seemed
a case of fifty-fifty.

Mercy: Thomas Eric Richardson, 28-year-old engineer, was sentenced to death
at Leeds Assizes yesterday on a charge of murdering Dr. Walker Dewar. The
jury recommended to mercy. The doctor, who had been described during the
trial as "over fond of the opposite sex," was found battered to death
outside his garage in Beeston Road, Leeds, on April 29. Yesterday Dr. F. H.
Brisby, medical officer of Leeds Prison, said that he had Richardson under
his care since May 22 and had discovered no evidence of phases of automatism
in which he might do things of which he would have no mercy afterwards. A
few days after his admission to jail, Richardson collapsed while at exercise
and was unconscious for about a minute. Addressing the jury, Mr. Fenwick
urged that while the motive was alleged to be jealousy of the doctor's
renewed friendship with Mrs. Laura Walker, the doctor was a pursuer of
women, and therefore a man who walked in daily peril of his life or serious
injury. Richardson had no greater opportunity to kill Dr. Dewar than any
other inhabitants in Leeds.

Majesty immediately recognised both men and asked them numerous questions
about their service in the last war. Both Morton and Moffatt served in the
same gun turret as His Majesty, who chatted for at least five minutes with
the men, asking questions about other shipmates and mentioning that he had
met several on his recent visit to the Isle of Man. Both men were also
presented to the Queen, who said it was a rather curious coincidence. She
added that she was delighted to meet them. Mr. Morton said the King must

Trains were help up: About half a dozen trains, principally main line
trains, were held up for over three hours following a derailment on
Wednesday evening a short distance from Dundalk Junction Station. The
Dublin-Belfast lines were blocked as a result of a collision between a goods
train and a Greenore passenger train at a place known as the Square
Crossing. In the impact, a coach and van of the passenger train as well as a
waggon and van of the goods train were derailed, and some of the vehicles
were badly damaged. There were about a dozen passengers on the Greenore
train, but no one was injured. The collision occurred before 7 p.m., and the
line was cleared shortly after 10 p.m. The collision occurred before 7 p.m.,
and the line was cleared shortly after 10 p.m. Meantime, three passenger
trains from Dublin and two from the North were held up. The 5-15 ex-Belfast
was in the station, and had a large crowd of passengers for the South. At
the scene of the derailment a breakdown gang worked at high pressure to
restore the service, the task being expedited by the Company's steam crane.

Sentenced: At Dundalk District Court on Wednesday, two brothers, Charles

O'Hagan defended. Sergt. O'Sullivan stated that he received a report
concerning the conduct of the defendants. He found them shouting; they were
drunk and contrary with two women who, apparently, were friends. With the
assistance of other Guards witness had them taken into custody. They used
very bad language and called witness and the Guards filthy names. Mr.
O'Hagan said that the women were the wives of the defendants, who now wished
to apologise for what they had said. They were not aware of what they were
doing as they had too much drink taken. Andrew was in the British Army for
21 years and would be going out on pension in a few months. He was to have
reported at Brighton last Monday and would probably get into trouble for not
turning up. If the Justice took serious steps it would prejudice his
pension. He had only arrived back after spending five years in a German
internment camp. District Justice Kenny sentenced each of the defendants to
14 days' imprisonment to date from day of arrest.
