What reading level is Knowledge And Practice book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And, more- over, even if we grant that the promotion of the intel- lectual life is the highest possible aim, when we take hu- man nature and actual conditions as they are, have we any reasonable hope of success 1 Have not our demands been too high, the plan of education too far removed from the interests of our American youth, to call forth their ac- tivities ? Let us come down from the heights, and, taking human nature as it is, aim at practical results, at giving our young men a training for ...life, at making them effi- cient leaders of business and qualifying them for holding political offices. They may happily in the process acquire some modicum of liberal culture and some respect for ideas. In spite of the element of truth that such state- ments contain, I cannot help feeling that they point en- tirely in the wrong direction. A university teacher is not the man to talk about taking human nature as it is, or of gratifying the actually existing interests of stu- dents. For his concern is with human nature as it ought to be, his function to awaken and call out interests that are yet only latent and which the student may not yet know that he possesses.
