Hello, To add to Beverly's list, I am from Guysborough County and in many cases, 50 years ago and more, all grades were not taught in all schools. I lived in Goldboro, east side of Isaac's Harbour, where I completed Grades Primary through 10. The teacher in our school was not qualified to teach Grade 11 but in the school in Isaac's Harbour, on the west side of Isaac's Harbour, there was teacher who could teach Grade 11. For most of the school year I got to school by rowing a skiff boat across the harbour, in the morning, and back across in late afternoon. The only times I didn't row were when there was a very strong wind or when there was ice, in the harbour, in the winter. Times I couldn't row, I either walked around the harbour or bicycled around the harbour. This has added 2 more ways of getting to school, by rowing a boat and by bicyleing. There must be more.

Walking By horse By horse and buggy By horse and sleigh Bike Car School Vans Train -- yes that is right I said "TRAIN" Maybe some travelled boat or make shift Ferry perhaps from an Island (with no school) to the mainland or across a river (where no bridge was available near by, or across a bay where no roads existed. Does anyone know of heard of anyone travelling to school via a boat of any kind for part of their trip. Beverly H "You can have everything.
