During the Great War, the US government used a set of tests to measure soldiers’ knowledge and ability to follow directions. These tests were highly controversial but inspired forms of testing that are still used in many schools and jobs. Quiz yourself with nine questions pulled from the Army Alpha test to qualify for a $5 member’s rate ticket to On Two Fronts: Kansans Fighting the Great War.
