Lowering the Education Bar
September 23, 2005 10:23 AM EST

My how times have changed! Once upon a time, our educators ACTUALLY EDUCATED kids. What's happened?

Remember when old timer stated that they "only had an 8th grade education"? Well, don't look down your nose at that! They may well have been better educated then today's High School grads (and beyond?).


What appears below is the 1895 eighth-grade final exam from Salina, Kansas, USA - taken from the original document on file at the Smokey Valley Genealogical Society and Library in Salina, KS, and reprinted by the Salina Journal.

8th Grade Final Exam: Salina, KS -1895

Interesting! Take the exam.
