To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
91 One of his most important duties is to prevent the young men and women un- der his eye from running into extremes.
He should keep them in the difficult channel between the Scylla which wrecks the "used up" youth who says of life what the man in the play says of the crater of Vesuvius, "there's nothing in it," and the Chary bdis which boils about the hot little fellow who goes at the criticism of a book or the discussion of a controverted question with — if I may change the figm^e — a warwhoo...p and a tomahawk. He should discour- age his pupils from announcing plati- tudes as if they were oracles, and from apologizing for them as if they were orig- inal sin; from dealing with a moral question either as if they had long ago lost theii' relish for cakes and ale, or as if there were nothing but cakes and ale 92 OUR ENGLISH.
worth living for; from writing stories that strive to be original, and succeed in being morbid or grotesque, or that out- realist modern realists in the trivialities they photograph and in their ostenta- tious lack of plot and denov£ment ; from the extra -dry, the sweet, the still, and the sparkling brands of dulness; from poverty of language and of imagination, and from heaping words upon words until what passes for thought has been smothered, or metaphor upon metaphor until one cannot find the idea, if idea there be, for the illustrations ; from arid metaphysical subtleties, and vague scien- tific or religious generalities, from ped- antry of every kind and vulgarity of every stripe.
