What reading level is An Address By Wm. Preston Johnston book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not hold Sparta up to you for imitation, though that rock-ribbed little republic presented many virtues worthy of imitation; one virtue especially, too often for- gotten, that loyalty to home and to brethren of our own blood and lineage which modern definitions forbid us to call patriotism.
Sparta trained and banded its citizens to the end that the state should not perish and that it should dominate whomsoever it came in contact with, and so became formidable. Philip of Macedon and his gre...at son, Alexander, enlarged the idea, and conquered the world. I have used the example of Sparta, as I have said, as an illustration of the value of a definite purpose in government and in education.
But the world has moved ; and another, a broader, a higher purpose is perceived by the people and revealed by govern- ments, and especially, I hope, by our American common- wealths, in framing schemes for the education of their children.
It was a mighty step in advance when society admitted that it existed for the sake of the individual, even as the individual existed for societ}'; that the duties of obedience and protection were correlative.
