What reading level is The Child-Slaves of Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
halls. Many of these lads, even the youngest, desert their homes and live in lodging-houses at 4d. a night. They feed themselves, like a large percentage of the population of Man- chester, on fish and chips.
The organ-grinder boys earn even higher wages and spend them in the same way.
The touts " are of two kinds. There are, first, the youths who hang about the plat- forms and approaches to the railway station, offering to carry bags and parcels." They rarely start work before ii a.m., and when... they have earned enough money to provide a cheap breakfast, they will lounge about for several hours, gambling with any money which may be left in their hands, and making very little effort to earn anything further until the end of the day, when they strive to make enough for their night's lodging and supper. They are frequently arrested for causing " an obstruction," and sentenced to hard labour. The other class of touts are boys who wheel hand-carts with samples for commercial travellers. They earn an Child-Slavery in Manchester.
