Text 4As 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 in to 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 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, 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 Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.36. 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 communitiesB) an increase in the number of trained teachersC) the expanding economic problems of schoolsD) the increased urbanization of the entire country
According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that ______.A) most places required children to attendB) the amount of time spent on formal education was limitedC) new regulations were imposed on nontraditional educationD) adults and children studied in the same classes
Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in Para. 2 to illustrate alternatives to formal education pro- vided ______ by public schools.A) the importance of educational changesB) activities that competed to attract newC) immigrants to their programsD) the increased impact of public schools on students
What is the main idea of this passage?A. It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B. The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C. People learn' the importance of time from the culture they are in.D. Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.
