What reading level is The Life And Letters of James Henley Thornwell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He brought to this responsible position a large experience as a Professor in this very school, and was fully acquainted with its excellencies and its defects.
His views upon the whole subject of education were also fully matured. He properly considered its first object to be the discipline of the mind, to elicit its dormant powers, and to train these for vigorous self-action ; whilst the mere acquisition of knowledge he regarded as secondary in importance. , His favourite idea was to restrict u...nder- graduates to studies by which the mind may be systema- tically developed; and at the close of a prescribed and compulsory curriculum, to engraft upon the College the main features of the University system, with its large and varied apparatus for the fuller communication of know- ledge. He has been accused of disparaging the natural sciences as a part of liberal education ; in which there is undoubtedly a misapprehension of his true position. He certainly did not estimate them highly as instruments of mental discipline; and thus assigned them a small place in that scheme of education which is intended to train the mind.
