To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mr Thomas Humphreys, the Governor, knows something of the history of all his young charges, and he is the last man to wish to visit the iniquities or the misfortunes of the parents upon the children. To him every child who enters the school is an individual human problem and a subject for kind- ness and sympathy. His first object is always to establish some human relationship with the child. It may be that the child has come in a sullen temper, prepared to meet a gaoler, but by no means to ac- ...knowledge him as a friend, or he may have the hunted, frightened air of one who feels that every man's hand is against him. In such a case, perhaps, the stern gaoler indulges in some little pleasantry, in order to make the prisoner laugh. Then, when the ice is broken, it is possible to explain that whatever the past may have been, coming to Drury Lane School means a new start in life, with new hopes and new aims. Mr Humphreys then takes the earliest opportunity of personally visiting the home of the child and trying to obtain the sympathy and co-operation of the parents in the work he hopes to do for the child.
