To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even "the greater frequency of competitive examinations for the place" has not been followed by any marked change. At this stage of the discussion I quote only one further paragraph : " I may instance the facts that the number rejected as poor readers, is now and always has been small; yet it is observable that the proportion of intelli- gent readers is much smaller than formerly. In spelling, the examination has always been strict, and, as near as we can make it, our standard the same ; yet mo...re are rejected and more ordinary spellers are found among those admitted. In arithmetic likewise, with the same standard of attainment, as far as my long experience can make it, while the proportion rejected has increased, I find as well in those admitted less accuracy in definitions and rules, less ability to give clear reasons, and less facility in the application of the principles whenever required in other branches of their mathematical course. " It may be objected to any conclusions based upon the West Point statistics, that there have been great social and political changes in the Southern States which naturally throw the ap- pointments into inferior hands, and that the great increase in the number rejected at the Academy is thus to be explained.
