What reading level is Educational Problems volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The chief enemy of active virtue in the world is not vice but laziness, languor, and apathy of will. The law of least effort is universal. We economize labor by machines, evade thought by creeds, and real moral decisions by habits or, at best, rules. The learn- ing of even so-called scholars often seems to consist largely in knowing how not to think themselves but to utilize some- one's else thinking instead, as parasites live upon the food of their hosts. It is hard to reason, decide, judge; a...nd so the minimum of labor often comes to seem the summiim bonum. Many a man in the unconscious depths of his soul is dominated by the problem how to find the easiest way and life, and what labor-saving devices he can discover ready made. It sometimes almost seems as if a brilliant intellect finds its highest use in de- vising new ingenious ways of shirking. Our colleges nlxjund in young men in quest of making a livelihood more easily than 296 EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS their sires did. It requires far less effort to appropriate other people's ideas than to forge out those of our own, as Plato accused Aristotle of getting his thoughts by the lazy man's way of reading rather than by the harder and more original way of thinking them out for himself.
