It was intended for students in grades six through twelve. The test was initially published by Public School Publishing Company of Bloomington, Indiana, in 1926. This example was filled out in 1937. At the same time Hill published this test, he published “A Test in Civic Information,” which stressed factual information. He and H.E.
