What reading level is The Boers And the Uitlanders book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1893 th e death rate of Johannesburg was 59 in 1000. At this rate the entire population would be dead in 16 years. This is appalling when you recollect that the people of Johannesburg were mostly men and women in the prime of life.
Then there was the school question, which sorely tried those of us who had children, especially the less well-to-do of the community. $315, 000 was set apart by the government for the support of the public schools, and of this sum we contributed more than three-fo...urths. But no English was taught. Our chil- dren were obliged to learn their history, arithmetic and geography in Dutch, or do without schooling. 21 The Boers and the Uitlanders.
The illicit sale of liquor to the natives was another source of trouble, and of danger as well. There were laws pro- hibiting the sale of liquor ; but the favored Hollanders received licenses from the government and were permit- ted to sell their stuff in spite of the law. Frequent and fearful accidents were caused by the intoxication which re- sulted.
