What reading level is The Training of a Working Boy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Watch these boys for a year or two and what a change comes over them ! The colour leaves their cheeks ; a slouch succeeds the sprightly active run, their sharpness is deadened into a hopeless sleep ! Generation after generation of healthy youngsters grow up to be seedy louts. It is a terrible decay from a purely physical point of view.
It is not only, however, a strain upon his health.
BOY LABOUR 75 For after working from seven in the morning till six or seven o'clock at night, he is much too t...ired out to benefit from any continuation class, unless it is surpassingly attractive. He can make a noise and enjoy a bout at boxing in a club ; but such energy is entirely different from what is needed at the evening class. Reformers tell us that we must at all costs send the boy to an evening school. It is no use ; he can't learn anything if he goes. Before advance can be made in this direction his working hours will have to be reduced.
Such work, then, is monotonous and hard without any stimulus to ambition.
