What reading level is The Grecians; a Dialogue On Education book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
My great objection is that we have so little variety in our games. Cricket, for instance, is usually the sole diversion of a boy's summer term, except in the case of the three or four schools which practice rowing. There is no better game (we have heard this perhaps a little too often) for encouraging -adroitness of hand and quickness of eye; but it is of no PHYSICAL TRAINING 55 more use in the formation of bodily vigour and beauty than any other outdoor, not sedentary, occupation. Now cricket ...is a pastime which only the proficient can possibly enjoy: that is to say, it is a game fit for about half the school. What happens to the other boys in the long summer afternoons ? Are they allowed to take such exercise as they please, to walk, bicycle, or play tennis ? Very rarely. Is there any school in Britain where boys are taught those two superb, manly, and most British exercises — the riding of a horse and the sailing of a ship ? Is then the only reasonable alternative enforced ? Are the boys who dislike cricket and are incompetent at it taught the game with special care, and helped to take their part by diligent indivi- dual instruction, like boys who are backward in their work ?
