1912 Eighth Grade Examination for Bullitt County Schools
This copy of the Eighth Grade Exam for Bullitt County Schools in 1912
was donated to the museum. We thought you might like to see what the
test looked like more than a hundred years ago. Obviously it tested some
things that were more relevant at that time than now, and it should not
be used to compare student knowledge then and now.
Note that there are several typesetting mistakes on the test
including a mistake in the spelling list. The word "eneeavor" should be
"endeavor." This version of the exam was probably a master version given
out to the schools (note that the spelling words wouldn’t be written on
a test.) The museum has been told that the exam was handed out in a
scroll form (that is why the paper is long.) The typos would have been
corrected simply by contacting the teachers and telling them to mark
their copies accordingly, much like would be done today. And there might
not be quite as many typos as you think; "Serbia" for example was
indeed spelled "Servia" back then.
