What reading level is Letters to My Son volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Equality of personal capabilities is an absurd fallacy. Mythology tells us of the Procrustean bed, wherein men were tested and those whose feet protruded lost them by amputation, while those whose feet failed to touch the end of the bed were stretched until they did reach it. This made for uniformity and our modern educational system does not appear to have altogether survived it. While teachers can keep their places only when they make way for new pupils by promoting the old 193 LETTERS TO MY ...SON ones, whether they ought to be promoted or not, the talk about the inefficiency of our schools of today will continue and will be justified. There can be no attempt at individual training, and the whole thing seems to be a system into which round boys, square boys, and triangular boys, and boys of no symmetrical figure must all fit or be damned. Our public schools will fail in one of their highest duties if they sacrifice the development of ability to a fetich of uniformity. * * * * The burden of the education of the youth of this country is a very heavy one, but it is cheerfully and willingly borne by the people of the United States in the hope and belief that the result will contribute to the creation of a nation which is homogeneous, and it must be recognized that our common schools have been a great unifying force in citizenship.
