Can You Pass an 8th Grade Spelling Quiz from 1904?

spelling bee

By Natural Blaze

This is an easy to take quiz that might not be that easy. That’s because spelling was a serious subject in 1904.

Although students in the 1900s were glued to their tablets, they wrote on them repeatedly with chalk.

Corrective, squiggly underlines were made by teachers and “auto-correct” would have meant quite literally – to correct oneself.

A hard drive came from within an eager learner, not a mechanical device.

So, how do you compare to a 13-year-old in the 1900s? Take the quiz and see!
