To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And if the motive which prompts the question be improper, let the child receive marks of disapprobation, and not of approval. " Mother, what is the coffee-pot for 1" said a child of three years, at the breakfast table. ** It is to put the coffee in," said the mother. ** And why do you put the coffee in the cc^ee- pot?" "Because it is more convenient to pour it out.'* *' And what," said the child, hesitating and looking around the table to find some new question ** And what — are the cups for ?"... " They are to drink from." * And why do you drink out of the cups ?" In this manner the child, during the whole time allotted for the breakfast, incessantly asked his ques- tions. The mother as continually answered them. She had adopted the principle, that her child must always be encouraged in asking questions. And by blindly and thoughtlessly following out this princi- ple, she was puffing up his heart with vanity, and making him a most unendurable talker. The com- mon sense principle, to guide us upon this subject, is obvious.
