The Expansion of Education Mr. McCloud

The Expansion of Education Chapter 7, Section 1 Objectives How and why did public schools expand during the late 1800’s? How did opportunities for higher education increase after the Civil War? What were the views of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois regarding African American education?

The Growth of Public Schools More than fifty percent of white children were attending public school, but a high school diploma was still the exception. Students went to school to learn to read write ‘cipher’ (do basic arithmetic). In farm communities older students only went to school from November to April so they could help there parents in the fields the rest of the year.

The Growth of Public Schools Public schools played a role in assimilating immigrants into the American way of life. Assimilation is the process by which people of one culture become part of another culture. African Americans, Mexican Americans and Asian Americans often went to separate and inferior schools from white students.

Illiteracy in the United States, 1870-1920 A democratic society functions best when it’s citizens are literate, have the ability to read and write.

Higher Education Expands Women and Higher Education Between 1880 and 1900 more than 150 new American colleges and universities opened. College enrollments doubled. Women called for more educational opportunities. Educators and philanthropists, or people who give donations to worthy causes, established private women’s colleges. New York’s Vassar College, which opened in 1865, was the first.

Higher Education Expands African Americans and Higher Education In 1890, only a few colleges, including Oberlin, Bates, and Bowdoin, accepted blacks. By 1900, more than 2,000 students had graduated from 34 African American colleges. Very few African American women attended college. There were only about 30 black women studying in American colleges in 1891.

Two Perspectives on African American Education Booker T. Washington Founded the Tuskegee Institute in Atlanta Taught students to put aside temporarily their desire for political equality Thought African Americans should focus on building economic security by gaining vocational skills Washington’s ideas reassured those whites who worried that educated African Americans would seek more equality.

Two Perspectives on African American Education W.E.B. Du Bois Became the first African American to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard Believed that the brightest African Americans had to lead their people in their quest for political and social equality and civil rights Argued for future leaders to seek a liberal arts education rather than the vocational education promoted by Washington In 1905, Du Bois helped found the Niagara Movement that called for full civil liberties.

The Expansion of Education–Assessment Schools for African, Mexican, and Asian Americans were (A) separate and unequal. (B) separate but equal. (C) closer to their neighborhoods than white schools. (D) places were they could learn exclusively about their history and culture. W.E.B. Du Bois believed that African Americans should (A) learn a vocation or trade. (B) put aside their desire for equality. (C) seek political and social equality. (D) remain in segregated schools so that they could learn exclusively about their history and culture.
