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 31 to 35).
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need
of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools
because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not "waste"
their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life's work. It was in the face
of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the
most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be
uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he
initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He
extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting
teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden
