What reading level is Everyday Life in China; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
8/ But crime does not shamelessly walk the streets and assert itself with such effrontery as in the towns of this Christian land of ours. Only where the congregating of Europeans has resulted in a grosser degree of de- pravity do the outward evidences of immoral conduct force themselves upon one's notice. To whatever depths of license many of them may be addicted, it can at least be said that they do not make an open show of their vices.
Few Christians realize as they should the eflfect produce...d upon the minds of intelligent heathen visitors to our shores by what they are obliged to witness in our large towns. In their innocence, the kindly supporters of missions think that it must do the ' poor heathen' so much good to come to England and see how much better we are than they. Would that it were possible for them to be so impressed I But these same 'poor heathen' are too often shocked by what they see and hear. The misery of the poor, the foul- ness of the slums, the number of murders recorded in our newspapers, the blazoning of licentiousness upon our streets, the prodigious figures of the 'national drink bill,' and the number of drunkards, — these things startle and amaze the heathen who come to England believing it to be an example for the world !
