What reading level is English Childhood; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If only ten persons in each of the ten thou- sand parishes of England and Wales earned no more than a halfpenny a day for three hundred days in the year," the produce of their labor would at the year's end amount to 62,500 pounds" ; and she notes that ''tlhe girls of the Found- ling Hospital under their present excellent matron, earn one hundred pounds a year." She would, therefore, set all idle children to profitable employment, adducing the example of thrifty Dutch children who earn their kee...p and more by making toys, 'Svhich serves as an amusement, as well as a profitable employment." She describes a charitable institution which is a modi- fication of the House of Industry. In the Day School of Industry, the promiscuous mingling of adults and children, which had led to overcrowding and resulting abuses, was eliminated. As soon as charity workers realized that in- dustrial life as represented in the House of Industry would destroy all sense of domestic life, day schools were urged for all except the wretchedly poor and orphans : "children com- monly receive more harm than good, by being mixed to- gether with men and women, and this is too much the case in Parish Workhouses." That the houses of industry were but one degree removed from these is evident from Ruggles, who observed that "the dormitory is too much crowded ; three or four boys in a bed, two men ; this number in one bed occasioned the air to be disagfreeable to the smell." 154 ENGLISH CHILDHOOD Although one may be tempted to ascribe Chatterton's lines on cottage discomforts to literary heightening, Rug- gles gives evidence of the naked truth of the poet's concep- tion, in a report of his visit to a sick cottager in whose household the cramped space precluded separation of chil- dren from adults, and the well from the sick.
