To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Turning now to the third point of view from which higher education may be regarded, let us consider the general as distinct from the particular services rendered by higher education. This has been foreshadowed in what has already been said, but it is capable of more definite expression by means of a few specific illustrations. 6 Upon what, let us ask, in the first place, does industrial prosperity depend ? Speaking broadly, I reply, it depends upon the character of the soil, and of the climate,... and upon the possession of raw material for manufacture. It depends also upon the safety of property and the security of contract. It depends, finally, upon the intelligence of the people which enables them to make use of natural oppor- tunities. It is the third of these conditions of prosperity which places emphasis upon education. Intelligence has always been regarded as essential for effective labor. In mediaeval times, when men used tools, industrial training was secured by means of a seven years' apprenticeship in whatever trade or craft was chosen, a fact which goes far toward explaining the wonderful handwork that has come down to us from the fourteenth and fifteenth cen- turies.
