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.
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 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notions seem quite out-of-date.

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.
In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and
did not allow the colonies to make their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which
received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to
keep money out of America as a means of controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with
England if it did not have the money to buy products from other countries. The result during this pre-
revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place of money: beaver pelts, Indian
wampum, and tobacco leaves were all commonly used substitutes for money. The colonists also made use
of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the
American colonies.

During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so each of the individual
states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much of this paper money was printed that by
the end of the war, almost no one would accept it. As a result, trade in goods and the use of foreign coins
still flourished during this period.

By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary system
was in a state of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution of the United States,
approved in 1789, allowed Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have their own
money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the official currency of the
United States and put the country on a bimetallic standard. In this bimetallic system, both gold and silver
were legal money, and the rate of exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.

A. supplied by England. B. coined by colonists.

A. continuously from the inception of the colonies. B. throughout the seventeenth century.
C. from 1652 until the Revolutionary War. D. for a short time during one year.
