Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United
States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in
towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with
a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for
economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important
means of integrating immigrants into American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn
of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal
schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and
4

the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular
activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools
over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of
immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations,
unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should
suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools
tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban
industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for
women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women,
American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies,
homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it
commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the
highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather
than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as
a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers
cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if
economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms
have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
Question 43: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing
importance of education in the United States was
A. the growing number of schools in frontier communities
B. an increase in the number of trained teachers
C. the expanding economic problems of schools
D. the increased urbanization of the entire country
Question 44: The word "means" is closest in meaning to
A. advantages
B. probability
C. method
D. qualifications
Question 45: The phrase "coincided with" is closest in meaning to
A. was influenced by
B. happened at the same time as
C. began to grow rapidly
D. ensured the success of
Question 46: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by
the 1920's was that
A. most places required children to attend school
B. the amount of time spent on formal education was limited
C. new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education
D. adults and children studied in the same classes
Question 47: Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned to illustrate
A. alternatives to formal education provided by public schools
B. the importance of educational changes
