What reading level is Occasional Addresses On Educational Subjects book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

I have none now, because I have exa- mined into its practicability ; and it would be easy for me here and now to advocate technical schools, not only as bearing on our industries and our national welfare, but as a most valuable contribution to the general education of the artisan. Technical schools, indeed, are destined, I hope, to be to the lower half of the middle class what high schools, grammar schools, and VII. ] THE PRIMARY SCHOOL. 127 our great public schools are to the upper half, and w...e do well to promote them for the education of boys above thirteen years of age. But it is constantly the duty of the professed educationalist to resist popular ideas, and to insist on a reasonable view being taken of every fresh educational panacea. We are now, it seems to me, threatened with an advancing tide of technical instruction, which aims at swallowing up all other educational agencies. Scotland has got a Technical Schools Act ; England is about to have one. In so far as these Acts can be safely utilised by School Boards, it will be in the direction probably of evening schools for apprentices, and of adding a higher department to a few of the existing day schools, where those who have passed the sixth standard, and have not yet entered on apprenticeship, may assemble to receive instruction of a more or less technical character.
