Locat

Locat (or Lokat ) was a name in use since the Middle Ages for a sub- schoolmaster or the schoolmaster's assistant . The locat was not only responsible for teaching , but also for reading votive masses or private fairs . The name is derived from the Latin locare (to rent), as originally the schoolmaster was obliged to employ other teachers required for the lessons at his own expense.
