Similarly, an "eighth-grade final exam from 1895" is proof to many that our educational system has declined. However, no one has produced an original of the document, not even the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society, which states that the "Examination Graduation Questions of Saline County, Kansas" were transcribed from an original document in their collection. You can find the text, with slight variations, many places but not one scanned image of an original. The document might actually be an examination for prospective teachers, but this would not be nearly as snappy a story about how good education was then and how rotten it is now.
