To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'* Mr. Alden published quarterly catalogues, and these give many interesting details of the work of the young ladies in the Newark Academy. For example, we learn that "each pupil ranks in her respective class, gradually rising according to the merit of her performance. The head of each class receives, every Sat- turday, an honorary certificate, and goes to the foot of her class, in order again to arrive at the same elevation. *' We are told that much time was spent in learning and recit- ing me...moriter select passages. Twenty duodecimo lines were called a lesson. "Those young ladies who learn and recite with such correctness as to need very little or no prompting, of the first-class twenty, of the second class fifteen, of the third class twelve, and of the fourth class nine such lessons, in the course of the week, besides devoting a proper attention to the other exer- cises of the academy, are considered as particularly meritorious, and receive a certificate of approbation and applause.
