Are You Smarter Than An Eighth Grader?

Take a look at this eighth grade test from 1895 Salina, KS. Would you pass? At a glance, I could maybe get 50%. I haven't sat down to see if I can remember all nine uses for capital letters, etc, though.

Wow. You know it's bad when "Name all the republics of Europe and give capital of each" is a relatively easy question! But I'm sure we'd do okay on here if we got a couple days to study...
