What reading level is Old Tales And Modern Ideals; a Series of Talks to High School Students book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In fiction and in dramatic literature, the tragedy comes at the end of the story ; but, in nature's story, tragedy is the begin- ning, not the ending. The better literature of the 108 OLD TALES AND MODERN IDEALS.
future will follow nature's suggestion, and the larger life born in tragedy will be idealized. No destruction is final : the tree dies and decays, but its elements pass on into other forms of life. All tragedy is a condition of a larger life beyond : every death has the potency of an e...ternal future.
The law of sacrifice is inflexible and universal in human life. They that sow not shall not reap; the spendthrifts will never grow rich; the prodigal sons must sooner or later feed upon husks. Self-denial is a fundamental condition of health and wealth; it is the law of all growth and progress; it is the first essential in every act of chivalry and in every deed of heroism. Sacrifice is the price of knowledge and the only path to culture. The frivolous devotee of pleasure can never obtain true wisdom ; without toil and strug- gle and the sacrifice of selfish interests, the rewards of scholarship are unattainable.
