1900: Irish allowed as a full primary school subject within school hours.
1904: established as the main medium of primary teaching in the Irishspeaking districts.

The name:
St Enda of Aran
Feeling that there was a lack of suitable teaching material in Irish Wrote a
course (An Sgoil) in 1907-1908.
Opened St Enda's (in Ranelagh) in 1908. A bilingual secondary school for boys.
For want of proper education, people in their country had forgotten that they had
a country but men like Patrick PEARSE and schools like St Enda's are bringing
back again the consciousness of belonging to a nation.

History.
The study of History, especially of Irish History, forms and important part of the
curriculum. [] from the first the pupils' attention is concentrated on their own
land. [] it is sought to instil into the minds of the pupils an intimate and lively love of
their father-land.
History
You need not praise the Irish language simply speak it; you need not
denounce English games play Irish ones; you need not ignore foreign
history, foreign literatures deal with them from the Irish point of view.

I am Ireland:
I am older than the Old Woman of Beare.
Great my glory:
I that bore Cuchulainn the valiant.
Great my shame:
My own children that sold their mother.
I am Ireland:
I am lonelier than the Old Woman of Beare.
