What reading level is Christian Americanization a Task for the Churches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have a test of this un-American attitude of mind which I apply occasionally. In a certain foreign-speaking church the wife of the pastor was holding her baby on her lap. The behavior of the baby annoyed one of the men so much that he produced a strap, and while the serv^ice was still in ses- sion, walked over to the mother and struck the baby with the strap! Nobody knocked him down or even protested. I have reported this incident to various men of foreign birth in order to observe their menta...l reaction, and I have yet to find one who showed the slightest surprise, unless it was surprise at my indignation.
The American respect for womanhood, for the privacies of family life, and for the refinements which are instinctive in every decent American are often wanting in many of the foreign colonies in our large cities. I call attention to this as evidence that American influences have not penetrated deeply into the lives of the people of whom these things are still true. No one will be foolish enough to make sweeping generalizations and say that all these characteristics are present in all sections or among all old-world races who have come to America.
