What reading level is Chinamen At Home book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With the thermometer often steady at ninety in the shade the smell was sickening. Two doors away there was a starch factory, where tubs of sour, soaking grain were put out upon the roof day and night. We did need a sanitary inspector there to right things and make life worth living ; but it had to be borne for six long years, till the improved tone of Chinese feeling made it possible to build a WORK OUTSIDE THE TREATY PORTS 193 pleasant little bungalow on the outskirts of the town. The ceilings... were low, the air stifling, and the warehouse so void of windows or inlets for the breeze that in the summer months it was neces- sary to erect a mat wind-sail over a tiny skylight to allure a whiff of fresh air down into this rambling dungeon of heat and suffocation. One room had to serve as study, refectory, bed- chamber ; and for years I slept on a camp-bed, which was taken down every morning and put up, with the necessary mosquito-nets, every night.
That was no great hardship. For a time I chafed under some of the disabilities of my lot, but they were trifling and a light price to pay for the sake of securing a foothold for our mission in this difficult centre.
