There are probably many college graduates that couldn't get a passing grade on any individual section of that exam, much less the whole thing.

And that's why we face the societal problems we do today.

True but supposedly the 8th grades would have been studying that material just before having to take the test. You're comparing it to trying to do it now as you read it. I think it would be great if 8th graders were required to take that test now.

anyone not busy today and want to take a stab at the test? that would be awesome.

I read that, too.

But a lot of that stuff is common knowledge, except for some of the colloquial terms. In 1912, probably everyone knew what a cord of wood measured.

is that 35.7 or 35 x 7 (using the dot to mean multiply) the dot is hianging a little higher than the decimal in the eariler questions

I vote for multiplication and not a decimal point.

I already aced the spelling part.

That must have been oral before the test was handed out.

A cord of wood equals $150 around these parts.

 

[blybrook PE]

A cord of birch runs $250, spruce around $350. That's unsplit and delivered. Most of the time, that's also green, so if you want properly seasoned, be prepared to pay extra.

 

[csb]

Ours is usually pine, split and delivered. Burns fast, but you can't beat cheap pine-beetle killed wood.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

It costs my parents about $10. But that's for the permit. They have to cut, split, haul, and season it themselves...
