What reading level is The Southern Highlander And His Homeland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Though not a fair measure of knowledge, literacy is still the accepted standard by which the educational status of a region is judged; and of necessity we employ the accepted standard. The United States Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person ten years of age or over who is unable to write, regardless of ability to read. It is to be regretted that the extent of illiteracy as thus de- fined must be measured in the Highlands by figures for 1910. The efforts of state and county, and of p...ublic-spirited citizens through moonlight schools and educational campaigns of one sort and another, will probably result in lower figures in the 1920 census returns.
According to the census for 1910, of 3,856,420 persons of ten years of age and over within our Southern Highland area, 515,131, or 134 per cent, were illiterate.
