What reading level is American Contributions to Civilization And Other Essays And Addresses book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

After these arts are acquired there is much to be done to make them effective for the development of the child's intelligence. If his rea- soning power is to be developed through reading, he must be guided to the right sort of reading. The school must teach not only how to read, but what to read, and it must develop a taste for wholesome reading. Geography, as commonly taught, means committing to memory a mass of curiously uninteresting and unimportant facts. There remains arithmetic, the schoo...l subject most relied on to train the reasoning faculty. From one sixth to one fourth, or even one third, of the whole school-time of American children is given to the subject of arithmetic a subject which does not train a single one of the four facul- ties to develop which should be the fundamental object of education. It has nothing to do with ob- serving correctly, or with recording accurately the results of observation, or with collating facts and drawing just inferences therefrom, or with express- ing clearly and forcibly logical thought.
