Yes, there were a few public and 'dame' schools but the vast generality of kids had no real opportunity to develop and spread such incantations. Let's just happily agree on 'late 19th century' as the most probable date for the origin of saying: 'White rabbits' for luck on the 1st of each month. Cheers
