Answer: pastors and theologians were seen as the most respected members of a community.

Explanation: During the Progressive Era education became more secular and professionalized (larger colleges, emphasis on social sciences and practical training), expanded access for women and African Americans increased, and reformers like John Dewey promoted schooling as a means to change society. Clerical authority as the dominant cultural force in education declined rather than increased.
