To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And if the desire be intense and steady, and if the effort be guided by wisdom, keen and comprehensive, we shall have as a result a true philosophy working out in true methods. But the people at large must know this phi- losophy, and work it out on a large scale. Thus the true education will come to be the " popular education " which our reformers talk about so much in these latter days. [5] Before Beginning. If the people are to be won to these thoughts they must be talked to in a plain and fr...ank way. Fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters, servants, preachers, clerks, editors, merchants, school-teachers, bill-posters, and news boys — a multitude — who help in never so slight a way to make public sentiment, must be stirred to wise desire and then set at work to put wise desire into wise endeavor. Concerning the " desire " Montesquieu speaks of and the "effort" it must beget, and the "wis- dom " to be consulted, and the " ways " so mani- fold to be employed, and the "multitude" of teachers, professional and non-professional, to be enlisted — all for the promotion of " popular education" — it has been the purpose of the author to write in the following pages ; and so to write as that some indifferent parents and other people may see what a great work is before them, and seeing may approve and perform.
