To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the first child came, the parents in all probability were still monolingual, knowing no other except their own tongue. Meantime, as the other children began ar- riving, the parents already had acquired a speak- ing knowledge of English ; that is to say, they had become bilingual. In consequence, the later-born children, no longer needing the "other language" in their intercourse with parents or older kin, never learned it. You may persist in telling your child of the glory of Bohemia's pas...t; that the land of your birth had an old and honorable record long before the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the Massachusetts coast. The child will answer: But how small your country is compared to ours! You realize how futile it is to argue with a youthful head to which nothing ap- 103 THE CECHS IN AMERICA peals more convincingly than physical greatness. The tallest mountain — Mount Whitney; the longest river — Missouri; two oceans; New York now estimated to be the largest city in the world; a republic of more than one hundred million in- habitants — is it possible to play a bigger trump- card in order to convince youthful minds?
