Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions (from 31 to 35).<br />
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need<br />
of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools<br />
because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not "waste"<br />
their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life's work. It was in the face<br />
of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the<br />
most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be<br />
uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he<br />
initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He<br />
extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting<br />
