Kind of funny to me that whoever wrote the test didn’t do a very good job proofreading their own work before they sent it off to the mimeograph.

It looks like old fashioned type setting.

This is obviously a proportional font, which did not exist in 1912. It seems to have been transcribed from an original 1912 document to a post-1970s word processor or typewriter, which is what is shown in the link above. I am betting the original did not have typos.

But some of the place names like Servia and Roumania and other oddities were considered proper at the time. I was confused by the comma after Magnetic in the list of inventions. Magnetic what? Did they mean magnetism? If so, that inventor was Faraday.
