What reading level is Day Dreams of a Schoolmaster book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a system is vulgar that employs incom- petency, that sweats and underpays talent ; is there no vulgarity in those patrons whose call for cheap teaching is the source of aU the mischief? What do we want with your fine musicians and over-educated scholars ?
Give us teaching-stuff that will stand wear and tear; catgut nerves and gutta-percha brains !
Your German master is often a man of learning, and is always well educated : your French master of the old school was a man of elegant accompKshme...nts and a preux chevalier; but the manners of France appear to have degenerated under the ell-wand of a Shop-kijig, and the spurred boot of a Barrack-emperor.
Italian — beautiful, musical, classic Italian — ^is, alas ! not very generally appreciated, although its teachers are usually men of a high caste. Not long ago, a royal Prince at Holyrood read, for a while, Italian with an accomplished soldier and gentleman; PLACE AUX DAMES. 117 and this circumstance raised in the estima- tion of our citizens the language of Dante, Ariosto, Tasso, and Alfieri What a good thing it would be if we were honoured with a mere elhtoXov of- royalty in the old palace, whose shadowy Highness might be repre- sented as patronizing, from time to time, such accomplishments as we seemed in danger of forgetting !
