What reading level is Wear And Tear; Or, Hints for the Overworked book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In most of our schools the hours are too many, for both girls and boys. From nine until two is, with us, the common school- time in private seminaries. The usual recess is twenty minutes or half an hour, and it is not as a rule filled by enforced exercise. In certain schools — would it were common ! — ten minutes' recess is given after every hour; and in the Blind Asylum of Philadelphia this time is taken up by light gymnastics, which are obligatory. To these hours we must add the time spent in... study out of school. This, for some reason, nearly always exceeds the time stated by teachers to be necessary; and most girls of our common schools and normal schools between the ages of thirteen and seventeen thus expend two or three hours.
Does any physician believe that it is good for a growing girl to be so occupied seven or eight hours a day? or that it is right for her to use her brains as long a time as the me- chanic employs his muscles? But this is only a part of the evil. The multiplicity of studies, OR HINTS FOR THE OVERWORKED.
