TESTING IN 1895

Think about 8th grade.... this is the kind of test they had to pass in 1895:

U.S. History (Time, 45 minutes) - 8th Grade

1. Give the epochs into which U.S. History is divided.
2. Give an account of the discovery of America by Columbus.
3. Relate the causes and results of the Revolutionary War.
4. Show the territorial growth of the United States.
5. Tell what you can of the history of Kansas.
6. Describe three of the most prominent battles of the Rebellion.
7. Who were the following: Morse, Whitney, Fulton, Bell, Lincoln, Penn, and Howe?
8. Name events connected with the following dates: 1607, 1620, 1800, 1849, and 1865?

What do you think if you had to take such a test? How would you do? If you have or are teaching kids, how would they do - no matter what grade they are in?
