The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in<br /> towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with<br /> a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for<br /> economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important<br /> means of integrating immigrants into American society.<br /> The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn<br /> of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal<br /> schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and<br /> 4<br /> <br /> the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular<br /> activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools<br /> over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of<br /> immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations,<br /> unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.<br /> Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should<br /> suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools<br /> tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban<br /> industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for<br /> women was the home.<br /> Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women,<br /> American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies,<br /> homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it<br /> commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the<br /> highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather<br /> than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as<br /> a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers<br /> cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if<br /> economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms<br /> have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.<br /> Question 43: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing<br /> importance of education in the United States was<br /> A. the growing number of schools in frontier communities<br /> B. an increase in the number of trained teachers<br /> C. the expanding economic problems of schools<br /> D. the increased urbanization of the entire country<br /> Question 44: The word "means" is closest in meaning to<br /> A. advantages<br /> B. probability<br /> C. method<br /> D. qualifications<br /> Question 45: The phrase "coincided with" is closest in meaning to<br /> A. was influenced by<br /> B. happened at the same time as<br /> C. began to grow rapidly<br /> D. ensured the success of<br /> Question 46: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by<br /> the 1920's was that<br /> A. most places required children to attend school<br /> B. the amount of time spent on formal education was limited<br /> C. new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education<br /> D. adults and children studied in the same classes<br /> Question 47: Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned to illustrate<br /> A. alternatives to formal education provided by public schools<br /> B. the importance of educational changes<br /> 5<br /> <br />
