What reading level is Smiling 'round the World book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sellers of tea at the stations will give one a small teapot filled with hot tea, and a tiny cup, all for three sen, or a cent and a half in American money.
In all Japan there were very few outward and visible signs of war. The self-restraint taught 111 SMILING 'BOUND THE WOELD these i>eople for centuries keeps them from any display of enthusiasm. Occasionally the barrier is broken down^ and considering their training e^en a slight demonstration means much. All through the country victory i)...oles were erected. These are long bamboo i>oles with round netting balls at the top, set up at opposite sides of the street, and lean- ing toward each other until their points cross. At the railroad stations one was sure to see parties of wounded soldiers returning from the front or those who were departing for the seat of war.
These latter were always attended by a crowd of men and women, who waved small Japanese flags and gave a shout as the train moved away. This shout is really more of a screech than a good, round cheer, such as would be heard in America, for it seems as if there is some physical reason why the Japanese can not raise their voices without pro- ducing the most blood-curdling sounds.
