III. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question below. 
 Education was of primary importance to the English colonists and was conducted at 
home as well as in established schools. Regardless of geographic location or finances, 
most Americans learned to read and compute numbers. For many, the Bible and other 
religious tracts were their only books; however, the excellent language contained in 
such works usually made them good primers. Many families owned one or more of 
Shakespeare’s works, a copy of John Bunyan’s classic A Pilgrim’s Progress, and 
sometimes collections of English literary essays, poems, or historical speeches. 
 In 1647 the Massachusetts School Law required every town of at least 50 households 
to maintain a grammar school. The law was the first to mandate public education in 
America. In the middle colonies at the time, schools were often dependent on religious 
societies, such as the Quakers and other private organizations. In the South, families 
employed private tutors or relied on the clergy to conduct education. At the outset, most 
elementary schools were for boys, but schools for girls were established in the 
eighteenth century in most cities and large towns. In spite of the informal atmosphere of 
most American schools, the literacy rate in the colonies of mid-eighteenth-century 
America was equal to or higher than in most European countries. 
 Before the American Revolution, nine colleges had been founded, including Harvard, 
William and Mary, Yale, the College of New Jersey (now Princeton), Brown, Rutgers, 
Dartmouth, and Kings College (later Columbia University). By 1720 the natural 
sciences and modem languages were being taught, as well as courses in practical 
subjects such as mechanics and agriculture. At the end of the eighteenth century, 
medical schools were established at the College of Philadelphia and at King's College.

how many households? 
A. Less than fifty B. Exactly fifty C. Fifty or more D. Fifteen

provide education?
