	In 1885 the 8th grade was considered 
	upper level education. Many children quit school as soon as they could 
	master the basic fundamentals of the 3 R's (reading, writing and 
	arithmetic). Most never went past the 3rd or 4th grade. That's all you 
	needed for the farm and most city jobs. Child labor laws were not in 
	existence. Additionally today's education has much more focus on technology 
	and sociology than the grammar and geography of old. It's a different world 
	with different requirements and capabilities needed to succeed.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://bertc.com/subfour/truth/grade8.htm"><DIV>
