What reading level is The Place of the Rural Economy in a University Curriculum book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A difficulty in the earlier years was the attracting of students, but the main difficulty now is the finding of accommodation for them. As a consequence, most of the agricultural colleges have had to embark on large building schemes ; the South-Eastern College at Wye, for instance— which is affiliated to the University of London — having had twice, within the past five years, to enlarge its premises, until now over 100 men are in residence, and the applications are more numerous than can be ent...ertained. Perhaps the figures that refer to Cambridge may have a special interest for an Oxford audience. In the Michaelmas Term of 1899, when the Agricultural Department was placed on its present basis, the number of students was twenty-five, of whom two were graduates ; in 1903 the number was thirty- three, three being graduates; while the present academic year opened with fifty men in the Agricultural Depart- ment, of whom fifteen had already taken a degree.
Having briefly reviewed the present position of Higher Agricultural Education throughout the country generally, we may now, perhaps not unprofitably, devote some time to inquiring as to our own attitude in regard to the subject* If not quite so prompt in taking action in the educational revival of 1890 as one or two other Universities or University Colleges, Oxford cannot be accused of unnecessary delay, for we find that on April 27, 1891, the Hebdomadal Council appointed a Committee of eight (which it subsequently increased to nine) to 'consider in what way the University could assist in the establishment of agricultural education, with a special view to the needs of County Councils'.
