What reading level is China And Her People volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Instead of using any part of the verb " to be, " " belong " is always used. A Chinaman will say, for example, " inside be- long too much hot. " When you call at a house you inquire of the boy, " Mississee have got, " and the boy answers, " have got " or " no have got, " meaning that she is or is not at home. In Pidgin " dignified " becomes " plenty face. " and undignified " no got face. " The name of a place is followed by the word side, as " home side, " or " Japan side. " " Top side " Arts an...d Language 159 means up-stairs. " Walkee " means all species of locomotion. A Chinaman will ask " what time that ship walkee. " " Can do " means all right. This phrase is also much used inter- rogatively. A ricksha man will offer his vehi- cle, or a boatman a sampan, by asking " can do. " A wild duck is a " fly away duck, " while a tame duck is a '* walkee, walkee duck. " The word " chit " has held its own among foreigners in China by the use of the chit book. Every foreigner has a book in which he enters the addresses of messages sent by him.
