READING

Read the passage below and answer questions 1 through 5.

Mary Lewis was a pioneer in the field of education in the South. After graduating

from Atlanta University, Mary spent ten years teaching in one of the few public high

schools for African Americans. There were practically no high schools for African

Americans. Therefore, Mary Lewis knew how difficult it was for African American

children to prepare for college. In 1886, when the Board of Missions for Freed Men

invited her to start a private secondary school in Augusta, she gladly accepted.

The Whylsy Institute, as Mary’s school was called, soon outgrew the church

lecture room where it had begun. It had to move to larger quarters. In addition to

handling the curriculum, Mary also had to raise money to finance the school. Despite the

difficulties, she succeeded in her goal to make her students as educated as white high

school graduates. The Whylsy Institute came to be recognized as one of the best

secondary schools in Georgia.
