What reading level is The World's Work ... a History of Our Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Willard had joined it as a brakeman. Mr. Underwood had just finished his own long climb from day labor to the fringes of the executive world. In the next fifteen years Mr. Willard almost exactly duplicated on the Soo Line the jobs that Mr. Underwood had held on the St. Paul. In 1899, both left the Soo Line.
Both went to the Baltimore & Ohio.
These are mere records. The story is better than that. Mr. Underwood's eye discovered young Willard on the line very shortly after 1886. Mr. Underwood watc...hed him. They got to be good friends, the man well up the ladder and the man coming up. How much help came from above to the man who climbed, the writer does not know. Whatever it was, it seems to have been deserved.
In many things these two men arealike.
Both are plain and simple citizens. Both seem to think work is more important than anything else they do. Both want action all the time. As railroad executive officers, both seem to pay more attention to the men who work for them and to the job of running the road than they do to either the stock market or the ordinary business of having a good time and growing rich, as was the habit of the dying generation of railroad bosses and presidents.
