What reading level is The Mystery of Education And Other Academic Performances book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To help us in this effort is the true purpose of the study of composition, a study which, if we pursue it aright, may well be held among the noblest of the ends and aims of earnest life.
[ 182 ] THE STUDY OF EXPRESSION Once assured that composition, even in words alone, deserves our loving care, we may accordingly find stimulus rather than discouragement in the fact that the principles of it are marvel lously simple. The best workmen, they tell us, are those who need the fewest tools. The secre...t of skill is not knowl edge but practice. Practice alone, I sometimes think, is better a hundred fold than knowledge alone; and prac tice hampered by conscious knowledge is halting enough at best; but practice guided by knowledge so mastered that the teachings of knowledge have be come instinctive will bring us as near as the limitations of our earthly life can permit to the Divine ideal of per fection.
If these considerations have not been all wrong, we can now begin to perceive why, in the past, the study of [ 183 ] THE STUDY OF EXPRESSION composition, and of expression, has been so far from satisfactory.
