A 1912 eighth-grade exam was donated to a museum in Bullitt County, Ky.

The Bullitt County Genealogical Society put a scanned copy of the 1912 eighth-grade exam on its website today.

You can take the test.

On a related matter: 

While in town this afternoon, I stopped at the Dollar General store in search of a Hershey's Dark Chocolate bar (to shave thin as a topping for vanilla ice cream.) Next to the Hershey's bars, I found the Dollar General store-brand chocolate bars, 3.5 ounces for $1 each. According to the label, 100% of the proceeds go to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. Pay a dollar for the candy bar and the Store passes it on to the Foundation. I Googled the Foundation this evening and looked at their most recent tax return. Looks like they make literacy-promoting grants to many schools, libraries, civic groups, and other worthwhile organizations, and their administrative expenses are very low. If you're going to buy a candy bar anyway, check out the Dollar General line.
