Notes on Education by Patrick Pearse

Some notes about education in the hand of Patrick Pearse. The notes are undated but were possibly prepared a talk on the subject. The notes conclude with Pearse's transcription of a widely-known poem on public schooling which reads:
‘Ram it in, cram it in
Children’s heads are hollow.
Jam it in, slam it in,
Still there’s more to follow.
Pack it in, smack it in,
What are children made for?
Push it in, crush it in,
What are teachers paid for?’
