To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same rule applies to them all. Detached facts on miscellaneous subjects, as they are taught at a modern school, are like separate letters of endless alphabets. You may load the mechanical memory with them till it becomes a marvel of reten- tiveness. Your young prodigy may amaze examiners, and delight inspectors. His achievements may be em- blazoned in blue-books, and furnish matter for flatter- ing reports on the excellence of our educational system ; and all this while you have been feedin...g him with chips of granite. But arrange your letters into words, and each word becomes a thought, a symbol waking in the mind an image of a real thing. Group your words into sentences, and thought is married to thought and produces other thoughts, and the chips of granite become soft bread, wholesome, nutritious, and invigorating. Teach your boys subjects which they can only remember mechanically, and you teach them nothing which it is worth their while to know. Teach them facts and principles which they can apply and use in the work of their lives ; and if the object be to give your clever working lads a chance of rising to become Presidents of the United States, or million- aires with palaces and powdered footmen, the ascent into those blessed conditions will be easier and healthier, along the track of an instructed industry, than by 26 Inaugural Address to the the paths which the most keenly sharpened wits would be apt to choose for themselves.
