Excerpt from Boxwell-Patterson Examinations: Being a Complete List of All Questions Issued by the State Commissioner of Schools Since the Patterson Law Went Into Effect, Compiled for the Use of Teachers Who Are Preparing Pupils for the Patterson ExaminationsPrior to 1902 the county examiners prepared the ques tions used in examining pupils from the rural and village schools for the purpose of ascertaining, under what was then known as the Boxwell Law, the fitness of such pupils to enter high schools. Up to this time physical geography was required in such examinations, but the act of March 28, 1902, dropped physical geography from the list of te quired subjects for admission to high schools and required the State Commissioner of Common Schools to prepare the questions for each of the two examinations and send them to the clerk of the county board for use in the examinations in April and May. The following lists include every ques tion that has been asked by the Commissioner since the law went into effect.The questions are here given in groups, just as they were given in the examinations, and the dates of examina tions are also noted. This is done in order that teachers using these lists may compare one with another, noting the trend or tendency from year to year.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
