My dad sent me the following link, and he is inquiring about what my students have to say about such a test. I am only giving you the English part of the exam. Could you pass 8th grade in 1895? My grandma only had an 8th grade education, and at the ripe old age of 97, she can still recite the two poems she memorized for her 8th grade graduation!
Would you be a better writer if you could answer the questions? How quickly could you access the answers on google? If you don't know the answers, do you think your teachers have let you down by not teaching this material? What have you been taught instead in your English classes?
8th Grade Final Exam: Salina , KS - 1895
