What reading level is American Towns And People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, exotic charm in the American hotel. The waiters were invariably black, the chambermaids in- 1 86 American Towns and People evitably Irish. On the sidewalks in front of New York hotels, Cuban planters rocked. The society in the Ladies Parlors sparkled. In the dining-rooms Gargantuan menus of strange foods tempted and satiated every ap petite. Ice-water clinked and indigestion stalked. Pale, precocious children compe tently ordering their own dinner tore soft- shell crabs limb from limb, gnawed... green corn, and consumed limitless ice-cream. It was indeed the New World.
Until Mr. Hoover, quite lately, took the matter in hand, almost nothing had ever checked our national extravagance, and the hotel, as perhaps the freest flowering of our institutions, excelled in wastefulness, both for the guests and for the casual public. In some Florida hotels, up to a comparatively recent period, great baskets of oranges for free eat ing stood in the offices, while in the early an nals of Wisconsin you may read of a custom of serving free whisky to all guests, more especially if the house was so crowded that many of them had to be put to bed upon the floor a custom that will become more golden in memory as the prohibition years go by.
