Trinity College, or Dublin University, in the Republic of Ireland, dates from the sixteenth century.
However, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, many Irish students went abroad, to Italy,
Spain and France, to be educated, as Catholics, forming the majority of the population were

huts in winter due to a lack of buildings of their own. They managed to teach Latin and Greek well,
Without texts, masters and pupils had to rely on memory. Not until the nineteenth century did these
banned 'hedge' schools disappear, when a system of public education was finally approved by the
British Government.

An average child of 5 years old uses only 1,500 of the 150,000 "dictionary" words that a modern
language contains. But this small treasury is used very intensively, by him during the years of
learning, at the rate of about 1,000 words an hour, or from 7,000 to 15,000 words each day for an
active child. School quickly increases his vocabulary, but leaves him with less opportunity for using
it. At 10 years old, his treasury amounts to 7,000 words, of which about 30% are used actively -the
remainder is seldom or never used and in an hour he will use about 700 words. By the time he enters
university, his word inventory will have grown to 20.000, and on graduation to
60.000, but of these only 10% -20%will be in active use.
