What reading level is A Young People's History of the Chinese book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every ward in China has its elders, its public hall, where the people meet for the trans- action of business, and its placards are public manifestoes, in which the popular sentiments of the people are boldly expressed; and both un- popular officers and offensive acts of govern- ment are sometimes criticised and denounced with irresistible logic and overwhelming ridicule " Digitized by Google GOVERNMENT AND LAWS. 83 (Mackay). These elders are chosen by the peo- ple, and their authority is genera...lly ultimate in adjudicating any case brought before them. The government regards them as the patriarchs of the people, and holds them responsible for the acts of the ward in which they reside. If a riot occurs in the ward, the elders are expected to have the guilty parties arrested and handed over to the govern- ment for punishment. If they neglect or refuse to do so, they are held to be themselves the offend- ers, and are dealt with accordingly. This makes them careful to maintain good order in their wards, and aids very materially in the administration of the law throughout the land.
