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 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 once 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 pre-industrial 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reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
11. According to the passage, early-twentieth century education reformers believed that _________.
A. corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress
B. special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them
C. different groups needed different kinds of education
D. more women should be involved in education and industry
12. The word "it" in line 3 in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A. education B. production C. homemaking D. consumption

13. The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _________________.

A. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century.
B. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the 19th
century.
C. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen
century.
D. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century.
14. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of
education in the United States was _________________________.
A. an increase in the number of trained teachers
B. the expanding economic problems of schools
C. the increased urbanization of the entire country
D. the growing number of schools in frontier communities
15. According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that
_________________________________.
A. the amount of time spent on formal education was limited
B. most places required children to attend school
C. adults and children studied in the same classes
D. new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education
