Heading off to School on a Horse

The Morning Mission newspaper reported on August 22, 1909 that the Jurupa School (now called West Riverside School) had just had a new barn built on the school property. The newspaper said the barn "is quite a convenience for the scholars that are compelled to drive a long distance." I had a hard enough time getting my kids off to school. I can't imagine also having to get them on a horse, to have them take proper care of that horse during the school day and then get back on it and get home!
