What reading level is Some Famous American Schools book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Until 1878 the institution was known as the Law- renceville Classical High School, and from its modest beginnings in 1810 till the year 1878 some 2, 500 boys had been enrolled upon its list of pupils, the larger number of them entering college, and very many of them becoming distinguished in the legal, Lawrenceville School 129 medical, and clerical professions, as well as in the army and navy. If one may judge from the reminis- cences of various pupils during the Hamill period, the regime of th...e Reverend Samuel appears to have been one in which leniency and justice were blended in about equal proportions. Very possibly it might be best described as a benevolent despotism.
Up to 1878 Lawrenceville was not strongly differ- entiated from numbers of other American boarding- schools. It was an excellent institution, but so were very many others whose rank to-day is much what its place then was. But a radical change was in store for Lawrenceville a change due in all human probability to the circumstance of John Cleve Green having been one of the original boys who at- tended the school in 1810, a lifetime earlier.
