To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Instead of standing merely by the fatalshoal to rescue the sinking crew, we should raise a warning signal toavert future shipwrecks. All experience shows that, to operate successfully, this branch ofeducation must be early attended to. True it is, that, just as 'the twigis bent, the tree's inclined;' and true it is, that on the discipline ofchildhood depends the moral character of manhood. The tree in theforest, after it has grown to a considerable height, may yet be bentfrom its natural course..., and, by long-continued force, be made to growin a different direction; but that change will not be permanent. Whenthe power which turned its course is withdrawn, every breeze and everytempest that shake its branches will aid it in gradually assuming itsoriginal position, till hardly a trace of that power which attempted toguide its growth can be perceived. There may be some who would neglectthat moral influence on the young which is necessary, trusting in thedelusive expectation, that the law will keep them in the right path;that the example of punishment, the terror of the gallows, the prison, or the penitentiary, will prevent the commission of crime.
