What reading level is Stand By the President book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slowly and at terrible cost, we are finding out and weeding out the un- worthy officers. The process is exceedingly delicate and diflicult ; 9 and it is not unattended with danger that worse ones may be put in their places ; but the path of imprOTement is now fairly entered upon, and every day adds something to the efficiency of onr legions.
There is an apolog}^ for the appointment of unworthy men to both civil and military positions, which it shames me to present. Commissions are given to men ...because they show good recom- mendations. How should a Presitlent or governor know that the applicant is unworthy, when prominent and respectable citizens are his vouchers ? And if a knave or a fool get a commission on the s. Rength of your testimonials or mine, who is most to blame? Two conditions are necessary to secure an honest administration of onr government, viz. , An honest President, and an honest peo- ple. Gentlemen, we have the honest, President; but do not tell me the people are honest, so long as they knowingly help unwor- thy men into places of power and trust.
