8th Grade Final Exam Salina Kansas 1895

For quite a few years, something's been bouncing around the Internet and in state surveying society newsletters about a test 8th grade students had to take in Salina, Kansas in 1895. It's quite shocking, and the thing most adults tell themselves as they read it is, "Why, even I couldn't pass this test!" For once and for all, this is a hoax, as can be seen at http://www.snopes.com/language/document/1895exam.asp
