following questions 38 to .
Perhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so hard for the important reforms in
education that he accomplished. While he was still a boy, his father and older brother died, and he became responsible for supporting his
family. Like most of the children in his town, he attended school only two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers,
he was able to study law and became a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles.
While serving in Massachusetts legislature, he signed a historic education bill that set up a state board of education. Without
regret, he gave up his successful legal practice and political career to become the first secretary of the board. There he exercised an
enormous influence during the critical period of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as
substitute for the older distinct school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was increased to a
minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other important reforms included the establishment of
state normal schools for teacher training, institutes for in-service teacher education, and lyceums for adult education. He was also
instrument in improving salaries for teachers and creating school libraries.
Mann’s ideas about school reform were developed and distributed in twelve annual reports to the state of Massachusetts that he
wrote during his tenure as secretary of education. Considered quite radical at the time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model
for the nation. Mann was recognized as the father of public education.

A. Politics of Educational Institutions
B. Philosophy of Education

D. The Father of American Public Education
Question 39: Which of the following describes Horace Mann’s early life?
A. He was an only child.
B. He had to study alone, without help.
C. He supported his family after his father died.
D. He attended school six months a year.
Question 40: The word “struggles” in line 5 could best be replaced by_________.

A. valuable experiences
B. difficult times
C. happy situations
D. influential people
Question 41: What did Horace Mann advocate?
A. The state board school system.
B. The graded school system.
C. The district school system.
D. The substitute school system.
Question 42: The word “mandatory” in line 10 is closest in meaning to___________.
A. equal

abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a smaller plot of ground. We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets,
livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today.

As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organize their knowledge of nature into the
broad field of natural history. One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine. The early herbalists
sometimes overworked their imaginations in this respect. For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles
an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person
suffering from heart problems.

their uses.
