1895 - US 8th grade final exam

what it took to get an 8th grade education in 1895...

remember when grandparents and great-grandparents stated that they only had an 8th grade education? Well, check this out. Could any of us have passed the 8th grade in 1895?

This is the eighth-grade final exam from 1895 in salina , kansas , usa . It was taken from the original document on file at the smokey valley genealogical society and library in salina , and reprinted by the salina journal.

8th grade final exam: Salina , ks - 1895

grammar (time, one hour)

1. Give nine rules for the use of capital letters.
2. Name the parts of speech and define those that have no modifications.
