Commentary for Bava Batra 41:6
מיתיבי אחד מבני חצר שביקש לעשות רופא אומן וגרדי ומלמד תינוקות בני חצר מעכבין עליו הכא במאי עסקינן בתינוקות דעכו"ם
and that boys should enter school at the age of sixteen or seventeen. [They did so] and if the teacher punished them they used to rebel and leave the school. At length Joshua b. Gamala came and ordained that teachers of young children should be appointed in each district and each town. and that children should enter school at the age of six or seven.
Mordechai on Bava Batra
Note 516: And [in a case of] an alleyway that is a dead end from three sides and Reuven lives next to the dead end; and Shimon comes to live next to the open end, such that the [gentile who has a business arrangement with Reuven] would not be able to walk [to Reuven] if he did not first walk in front of Shimon's entrance - it appears that [Reuven] can prevent him [from opening a competing business there], like the [statement] of Rav Huna. See the chapter [entitled] Chezkat HaBatim regarding the property of [gentiles], etc.; and also the chapter [entitled] HaOmer regarding [the case of] Rav Gidel who was turning over, etc.; and the first chapter of Bava Metzia regarding one who lifted a lost object [to acquire it] for his fellow. Aviasaf.
