Correct Answer: Most children would walk, but a lucky few would get a ride on a cart or even a carriage.

Often children who lived in the country would walk several miles to and from school each day. School records show that sometimes children would have to walk barefooted as they might not have shoes.

If you were lucky a farmer might give you a lift on a cart. Cars were just being invented but very few people had one yet. There were buses in big towns but mostly pulled by horses, though a few towns had begun to try out the first motorised ones.
