What reading level is The United States Department of Agriculture, 1862-1912 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To surrender these two principles would be nothing short of calamity.
The tendency therefore to operate an institution for the sake of main- taining standards is all wrong as I see it. An institution is to be operated for the good it can do; for the people it can serve; for the science it can promote; and for the civilization it can advance. My main contention is that the ideals of the land grant colleges are, just as quoted above, essentially different from the ideals of the imported education... that found its organization in New England. We are deal- ing with a native product, home born, home trained and we propose to keep it distinctively American. The measure, therefore, of such in- stitutions is always to be public service, increased eflSciency and the maintenance of the best things in American life.
I do not think I go too far in saying that the close sympathy between the great American public schools and the state institutions is due to a common idealism and that In the last fifty years there has been a steady approach to a prevailing idea in the land grant col- leges; namely, that the American college should find its way to the liberal education of the industrial classes.
