  15. #History #NationalGeographic #Throwback #WorldWarI

    For #ThrowbackThursday, here’s a 1918 National Geographic Magazine. I bought this in about 1972 on a trip to New Hampshire, my dad’s home area.

    This week is the first time I’ve ever taken time to read it. In June 1918, ever single article connects very directly to the Great War.

    The article on “Prussianism” is striking because the criticisms would apply today to — wait for it — the USA.

  20. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

    Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.
