What reading level is Adventures in Contentment book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I said I did not come to know him well personally, and yet no one who knows this community can help knowing Doctor John North. I never so desired the gift of moving expression as I do at this moment, on my return from his funeral, that I may give some faint idea of what a good man means to a community like ours — as the more complete knowledge of it has come to me to-day.
In the district school that I attended when a boy we used to love to leave our mark, as we called it, wherever our rovings l...ed us.
It was a bit of boyish mysticism, unaccount- able now that we have grown older and wiser (perhaps) ; but it had its meaning. It was an instinctive outreaching of the young soul to perpetuate the knowledge of its existence upon this forgetftd earth. My mark, I remember, was a notch and a cross. With what secret fond diligence I carved it in the gray bark of beech trees, on fence posts, or on barn doors, and once, I remember, on the CONTENTMENT 179 roof-ridge of otir home, and once, with high imaginings of how long it would remain, I spent hours chiseling it deep in a hard-headed old boulder in the pasture, where, if man has been as kind as Nature, it remains to this day.
