TheHedge-Schools

HOWTHELIGHTOFLEARNINGWASKEPTBURNINGINTHE PENALDAYSINIRELAND.

fFrom"TheStandard,"Dublin.)

Manyofthespeakersandwriters ontheoccasionoftherecentEmancipationCentenarycelebrationspaidjust andfittingtributetothepartplayed bythe"hedge"schoolmastersinkeepingthelampoflearningburning,howeverdimly,duringthePenaltimes.

InthedaysbeforethepartialrelaxationofthePenalCode,toteach aschoolwasforaCatholicanoffence almostasgreatasthecelebrationof Mass,andtheCatholicschoolmaster, aswellastheCatholicpriest,hada priceonhishead.head.

Thehedge-schools,therefore,werea directoutcomeofthePenallaws,but owingtothepovertyofthepeopleand thelackofanyformofStateprovision forsuitableeducationforCatholic youth,theycontinuedtoexisteven afterthepassingoftheEmancipation Actin1829.

Fitzgibbon,inhiswork"Irelandin 1868,"referringtotheseschools,says thatthey"werecalledhedge-schools, fromacommoncustomofadjourning fromthepoorcabinofthemaster, whenafinedayinvited,totheshade ofaneighbouringhedge,wherethe poorchildrenhadthedoubleadvantageofinhalingfreshairandlearning theirtask.Theyweredayschools,to whichchildrenresortedwhoinwinter couldalsodailybringoneortwo sodsofturftokeepupafireinthe school."

Theward"hedge"usedinconnection withtheseschoolsalsocametobeperpetuatedbythelines:

"Crouching'neaththeshelteringhedge, Orstretchedonmountainfern, Themasterandhispupilsmet Feloniouslytolearn."

JohnofTuam's"AlmaMater."

Oncewhenunderexaminationbefore aRoyalCommission,thegreatArchbishopMacHale.wasaskedwhereand howhehadreceivedhisearlytraining. Herepliedthatthe'schoolinwhichhe wasbroughtupwasplannedbythe AuthoroftheUniverse,fashionedby nature;thatitshallsweremostmajestic;itsdimensionsmagnificent;that thebluevaultofheavenwasitscanopy,andthedeskonwhichheessayed towritewasthebosomofmother earth;herlaptheseatonwhichhe reclined.

Thushedescribedthehedge-school inwhich,untilhewasfourteenyears old,hereceivedtherudimentsofeducation.Arudecabin,withturfseats alongthewhitewashedwalls,afforded ashelterfromtheinclemencyofwietryweather.

GabrielBeranger,thecelebratedartist,notesthatatBallintubber,Co. Mayo,in1779,he"foundaschoolmasterinthe(ruined)abbeywithaparcelofchildren;thedeskwasalarge monument,andthechildrensaton stonesarranged."

Rev.Prof,Corcoran,S.J.,inhis work,"StatePolicyinIrishEducation,"quotesoneJohnHoward,aninspectoroftheCharterschools,asstatingin1788,inreferencetothepeople's schools:

"AtthecabinsontheroadsideIsaw severalschoolsinwhich,forthepaymentof3s3dperquarter,children wereinstructedinreading,writingand accounts.SomeoftheseIexamined astotheirproficiency,andfoundthem muchforwarderthanthoseofthe sameageintheCharterschools."

AMineofInformation.

ACommissionappointedbythe governmentreportedin1812that"the lowerclassofthepeopleofIreland areextremelyanxioustoobtaininstructionfortheirchildren,evenat anexpensewhich,thoughsmall,very manyofthemcan'illafford;andthere isacircumstance thatputsthis desireinayetstrongerpointofviewwemeantheexistenceofevening schools(andinoneparishthereare elevenofthem),fortheinstructionof thosechildrenwhoseserviceduringthe daytheirparentscouldnotaffordto lose."

AnotherCommission,thatof1824-26, madeafarmorethoroughandexhaustiveenquiryintotheprovisionfor theeducationofthepoorintheparishesthroughoutthecountry.Inthe reportsofthisCommissionistobe foundaveritablemineofinteresting informationdealingwiththe"hedge" or"cabin"schools.Namesofmasters,amountofremuneration,nature ofbuildingsusedasschools,areall dealtwithindetailfrompractically everyparishinthecountry.The NationalBoardwasnotcalledintoexistenceuntilseveralyearslater-in 1832-andthe"hedge"wasstillthe school,collegeanduniversityforthe greatmajorityofthepeople.

Glancingoverthecarefullytabulat-

edrecordonefindsmanyinteresting andnotafewamusingentries.The information,itshouldbestated,was collectedthroughtheassistanceofthe clergythroughoutthecountry.

OfoneJohnFlynn,whokepta hedge-schoolnearKillarney,itisrecordedthat"histotalincomewas£6 .1andgetsoccasionaldietandlodging fromthechildren'sparents,"andhis schoolbuildingisdescribedas"an apartmentinadwelling-house."EugeneMcCarthy,anotherhedge-school. masterofthesamedistrict,hadanincomeof£10,andhisacademywas"a miserableroomonthesecondfloorof averyruinoushouse."

Ofanotherworthypreceptor,James Swineybyname,itisstatedthathis schoolbuildingwas"awretched cabin,"andhisremunerationisgiven as"about£16,andacabin,apotato garden,andgrassforfoursheep" Well-PoundedSuspicion.

Alloverthecountry,andespecially intheSouthandWest,conditionswere similartothese.Theschoolsofthe KildarePlaceSocietyandotherfoundationswereestablishedinmanypar- ishes,buttheCatholicpeopleregarded themwithwell-foundedsuspicionandwouldhavenothingtodowiththem.

IntheNorthernCountiesatthis period,andespeciallyinCo.Tyrone, theschoolmasterwasalmostinvariably reportedasreceiving"dietandlodg- ing,"inadditiontohisslendersalary. The"ThreeRs"andtheCatechism hadprideofplaceinthecurriculaof nearlyallthehedge-schools.Themasterswereinmanyinstancesmenof classicaleducationandscholarlyattainmentsgenerally,andtheirtuition veryoftentookanindividualturntheyshapedtheirteachingaccording totheparticulargoaleachpupilhad inview.

Forseveralyearsaftertheestablishmentoftheso-calledNationalsystem ofeducation,thehedge-schoolscontinuedtoexistinmanyparishes,and theclergywereslowtocountenance thenewschools,owingtotheirbitter experienceofotherfoundationsinreceiptofGovernmentsupport,suchas theKildarePlaceSocietySchools.

Aslateas1843wefindaGerman traveller,Kohl,recordinghisimpressionsofavisittooneofthehedgeschoolsintheSouthofIreland.He seems,howveer,tohavereceiveda wrongimpressionastothemotivein bringingturftothemaster.This surelycouldnotbehisremuneration.

AMERICANPAPERS

AsthesunsankovertheSeven HillsofRomeonapleasantevening inthelatterpartofJuly,PopePius XI.emergedintotheSquareofSt. Peter's,"themightiestchurchin Christendom,"andwroteanendtothe fifty-nine-year-oldlegendof"thePrisoneroftheVatican."Aquarterof amillionpeople,gatheredfromall quartersoftheglobe,crowdedthe greatsquareanditsenvironstowatch thesacredpageantand-toreceivethe "benedictionofthesacrament"andthe Papalblessing"UrbietOrbi"-"tothe city.andtotheworld."Theoccasion wasthecelebrationofthefeastdayof St.James,halttheceremony,weare told,wasalsoanactoftakingpossessionofthenewVaticanState.The picture,allnewsdispatchesagree,was mostimpressiveincolourandpageantry,andinthesolemnityandsignificanceoftheoccasion.Itistobenoted,however,thatthePopedidnotactuallycomeoutofVaticanterritory,as thetreatyofFebruary_11fixedthe SquareofSt.Peter'sasapartofthe VaticanStateoverwhichthePopehas supremesway.Later,perhaps,.itis said,PopePiuswillsetfootonItalian

Theeventisgreetedeverywhereas ofprofoundimportance,as,forinstance,inthissuccinctsentencefrom theAlbany"EveningNews":"ThesignificanceofthePope'smoveisapparent,thewisdomofitundisputed, andtheprecedentofintenseinterestto CatholicandProtestantalike."So, too,theProvidence"News,"inwhose earnestphrase"neitherasademonstrationoftheChurch'sownvitality, norasanexpressionoftheItalian genius,norassanevidenceofthepotencyofaspiritualbondunitingthe mostdiversepeoples,cantheimportanceoftheoccasionbeexaggerated." Then,asatributetotheancientcitadeloftheChristianfaith,theProvidencepaperrecallstousthoseimmortallysonorouswordsofMacaulay inhisessayonRanke's"Historyofthe Popes":

"Nordoweseeanysignwhichindicatesthatthetermofherlongdominionisapproaching.Shesawthe commencementofallthegovernments andofalltheecclesiasticalestablishmentsthatnowexistintheworld; andwefeelnoassurancethatsheis notdestinedtoseetheendofthemall.

HerewemaypickupfromtheManchester"Union"ahistoricalreminder ofwhatledupto,andwhatended, thevoluntaryimprisonmentofthe Popes:

"Fifty-nineyearsago,ortobemore accurate,onSeptember20,1870,the PontiffsoftheRomanCatholicChurch wentintoseclusiontoaffirmtheimpossibilityofacceptingtheposition forceduponthembytheseizureof PapalpropertiesthroughoutItaly. Thisseclusionkeptaliveademandfor justicethathasneverbeenrecognised, untilMussolinibyamasterstrokeof diplomacyeffectedasettlementthat wasacceptabletotheVatican.From apracticalstandpoint,thissettlement endedacontroversythatwouldalways -havebeenasourceofestrangement betweentheVaticanandtheGovernmentofItaly.But,moreimportant still,itleftthePontifffreetoendhis self-imposedimprisonmentandenter uponthefullerexerciseafhissacred officethatmustnecessarilyfollowfrom therecognitionofhisprerogative whichthetreatyimplied."

ThePapalestateisnowasthoroughlyestablishedandaslegitimateandas wellrecognisedasanytemporalState intheworld,althoughitsterritoryis insignificantinsize,theNashville'Tensessean"commentsincongratulatory tone:

"Butwithinitthereistheseatof morepowerthananyotherreligiOus organisationintheworldpossesses.

Similarlyimpressed,theTroy"Record"observesthatthemannerin whichtheeventwasobservedbythe peoplesoftheearthshowsthatitwill haveasalutaryeffectuponthetranquillitywhichthenationsaretrying tomaintainandestablishdefinitely, for-

"Toaverygreatextentitwasthe recognitionoftheremovalofacontroversywhichhasrankledItaly,and beenmoreorlessreflectedthroughout theworldsince1870.Therestoration ofthefriendlyrelationsbetweenthe VaticanandtheGovernmentofItaly demonstratestheprogressiveandjust policiesofboth,andreflectshighcredituponthem.

TheRosary (For"TheRecord.")

(ByRei'.HughO'Laverty).

ThegreatPontiff,PopeLeoXIII., issuedmanyEncyclicallettersonthe importanceoftheRosaryasafamily prayer.TheHolyFatherhadin view,indoingso,thesafeguardingof iesDilylife.Ofrecentyearsitwillbe noticedthatthereisatendency,especiallyinnon-Catholiccountries,to underminethesacredcharacterofthe family.Divorceandmanyother' modernevilshavemadetheloftysentimentswithwhichthehomewasat onetimeregarded,losemuchoftheir vigour.Itwaschieflytocounteract thiseviltendencythattheHoly FatherurgeddevotiontotheRosary.

TheRosarycreatesaspiritualand supernaturalbondamongthemembersofthefamily.Thisprevents winchdomesticunhappiness,and securesmanyblessingsonthehousehold.

Thetrouble,here,lieslargelyinigaoranceofChristiandoctrine.Too manyregardthemarriageobligations asiftheywereofsmallaccount.They aredazzledwiththesplendourofthe weddingfestivities;notrealisingthat thejoyofthemarriagefeastisonly apreliminarytoseriousobligations andtrials.

Attheconsecrationofabishop,or atthecoronationofthePope,much rejoicingtakesplace.Butallare awarethattheseofficesbringwith themlife-longobligations;and,we mightalmostsay-life-longtrialsand crosses.Ataweddingalso,wefind muchrejoicing.Unfortunatelythe partiestoooftendonotrealisethat thisisonlyafewhours,orafewdays ofjoy,topreparethemfortheirseriousvocations.

Matrimonybringswithitmanyand greatprivilegesandgraces.brutthese earn-withthemcorrespondingobligations.

Somepeopleexpectthisworldto beaparadise,and,whentheyfind thatitisfarfrombeingso,theyare disappointed.Itmustberemembervithatthisworldisnotaparadise; arid,doaswewill,wecannotmakeit one.itistoooftenforgottenthat therehasbeenafall;and,unfortunately,thefallhasaffectedeverynation andeveryperson.Itisamistaketo expectmuchfromanyone.Aperson maybewellinclined,andmayhave thesinceredesireofdoinghisbest.But Isisbestmaynotbeverymuch,becausethefallhasleftthehumanintellectaverypoorthingindeed.

Patriotismisacommonsourceof sin,aswellasanincentivetonoble actions.Thereason,again,isthatno nationandnocountryhaveescaped fromtheeffectsofthefall.Wemust neverexpectovermuchfrompeople, eithercollectivelyorindividually,and, therefore,wemustnotbedisappoint edifwefindothersnotquiteasperfectasweexpectedthemtobe.

Ifthosewhocontemplatematrimony wouldonlyrememberthattherehas beenafall;andthat,therefore,they mustexpectbothdisappointmentsand contradictions,wewouldfindlessdomesticunhappiness.

OurLordwaspresentatthemarriagefeastatCana,andthereHe workedHisfirstmiracle.Hewished toteachbyHisPresencethatmarriagewasbothsolemnandsacred,and thatitwasworthyofallreverenceand respect.Asamatteroffact,matrimonyisthebasisofChristiansociety, andweneednotbesurprisedthatthe Redeemerhonouredit.DidnotOur LordspendthegreaterpartofHis lifeinafamily,andwasitnotfitting thatHeshouldbeginHisPublicLife !-vhonouringtheformationofanew family?

TheRosaryisoneofthebestmeans ..1preservingfamilvholiness.Ifwe -,,okatthefamiliesfromwhomOur LordchoseHisministers,wewillfind thattheRosarywasthedailyprayer fallthemembers.Notonlydoes theRosarypromotefamilyholiness, butitalsopreservesdomesticpeaceablessingverymuchtohedesired. Hereisameansalwaysavailable,not onlyforthepreservationoffamily happiness,butforitsrestorationwhen ithasbeenlost.Parentsarefoolish indeediftheyfailtomakeuseofthe Rosarytokeeptheirchildreninthe safepath.Thisdevotionwillprevent muchsorrowandregretafterwards.

But,ifmatrimonyhasmany ations,wemustnotforgetthatthis sacramentimpartsalsomanygraces: andbringswithit,whenproperlycarriedout,muchmerit.WhenSt. MaryofEgyptwasaskedhowshe couldliveinthedesertdoingpenance, afterherlifeofluxuryandsininthe world,sheansweredintwowordy: "Proptermercedam.'("Onaccountof thereward").Ifmatrimonyhas manyobligations,itwillhaveamarvellousrewardineternity,forthose w;iodotheirbesttodoGod'sWill. Themotherorfatherofafamilymay havemanysorrowsandcares.But whatarewardwillawaitthemineternity,iftheybringupholychildren. TheRosaryisaneasymeansofpreservingfamilyholiness.
