What reading level is Up Stream; An American Chronicle book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Never of the contents of the [155] UP STREAM tests. But of tlie practical fact that they liave to be faced. Who has ever heard an eager argument among these students on any of the subjects — art, religion, economics, sex — that are supposed to employ the minds of men? Who has ever seen them keen about any- thing except (symbolically speaking) football and fudge? It is, as a matter of fact, considered rather bad form among them to show any stirring of the mind.
It is considered "high-brow," quee...r, that is to say — different, personal and hence, by a subtle and quite mad implication consoling to stupidity and emptiness — undemocratic.
A Continental would ask: Why do they go to the university? In Central City comparatively few went for social reasons. An extraordinary proportion of the students earn their maintenance wholly or in part. They and their parents make real sacrifices in the cause of education. I found few of those young men and women really slack and trifling. There was practically no disciplinary problem.
