To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Science has opened up glorious fields of knowledge, and man knows himself to have been created for action, and demands that the educa- tion of the young shall be a preparation for action. And promptly rallying around the Spirit of the Age, as we hear it challenging our present course of Grammar School in- struction, with all the artifices that come of it, let us pass that course of study in intelligent review. As has been said, Arithmetic and Grammar now engross the most of the working hours of... our schools, not so much for their intrinsic value, as for the vicarious part that they are expected to perform in disciplining the mind. The Mathematics, being an exact study, has the credit of train- ing the reasoning powers better than any other branch, and Grammar is held in special honor, on the ground that the study of the structure of language best disciplines the mem- ory and judgment. Now the first thing to be done, in order to a fair estimate of the relative values of Grammar School studies, is to dislodge from our minds every lingering prej- udice that it is needful to carry forward any vicarious exer- cises of the kind.
