What reading level is New Demands in Education book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is now a part of the great police machine; what an immense force for good it would be were it put into the hands of the superintendent and made a part of education.
As it is now in most cities, the main result, if not the chief purpose, of the truancy laws is to punish the child, instead of to reform him. In a majority of cases, truancy is the fault not of the pupil, but of his surroundings; yet little or nothing is done to improve them or him; after a number of warnings, he either drifts ou...t of sight or is sent to a reforming EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION 67 institution of doubtful efficacy. Yet it is from these truants that the criminal class largely is recruited, and upon their proper treatment rests, in no small degree, the solution of the question of criminal reform. The public school has splendid opportu- nities to catch these wayward children at the very inception of their careers and to make of them decent citizens; but we are so accustomed to disregard the individual child, we are so filled with the notion of the pupil conforming to the system instead of the system adapting itself to the child, that we almost deliberately create a public process for the manu- facturing of criminals.
