What reading level is English in the Public Schools book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Train him to see that the same thought may be expressed in many ways — that the clearness and force of a sentence depend upon a proper arrangement of the grammatical terms and freedom from unnecessary words. Lowell says: "The secret of force in writing lies not so much in the pedigree of nouns and adjectives and verbs, as in having something you believe in to say, and making the parts of speech vividly conscious of it." In most schools, the i)upils spend much time in analyzing sentences and in ...parsing words. Much of the time thus spent is wasted. Three score and ten years spent in analyz- ing sentences and parsing words would not materially in- crease the pupil's vocabulary or develop in him a love for literature. The barrenness of the merely formal in the study of English is seen the moment the pupil is required to write a composition. The formal cannot develop thought power, cultivate expression, or inspire purpose. Only the organic and the ueal answer the demands of the soul. The teacher of English in the common schools should ever bear in mind the fact that there are some things that every pupil must know in order to express his thoughts clearly and forcibly, and that there are many things in gram- mar that he does not need to know to use his mother tongue correctly.
