To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" But I must caution you to discriminate finely between self-respect and self-conceit. They say that egotism and self conceit are characteristic of the African race, and especially the Afro-American of academic training. You will have to deal with a population that places a premium upon bombastic display, and a discount upon unpretentious merit. You should devote your powers to the masses, to uplift them, and not to exploit them for your vainglory and unrighteous self-aggrandizement. It is said... that a native African struts proudly when decorated with flaming European neckwear of the latest Parisian pattern, though he wear not a single other article of dress. Men cross the seas, and even go to college, without changing their natures. Witness those Afro- Americans who decorate themselves with the highest sounding liter- ary and scholarly degrees, making heavy demands upon the alpha- bet to express them, without a single other ilem of intellectual adorn- ment to support this gaudy display.
