To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We see men and women returning to the colleges and universities for degrees because there is a real demand for them. There is a trend toward change in teaching methods, in the curricula of the public schools of a number of states, as we shall see in another chapter. This means that boys and girls who have been learning something about the so-called "pro- gressive education" and the "integrated curriculum, " as taught in a number of the teachers' colleges, will find open- ings. Moreover, youth i...s not in such demand in education as it is in business. A girl or boy qualified to teach, who has kept abreast of the times, is not handicapped by several years of unemployment. The ability to teach, after all, is not only a matter of training and technical knowledge; it involves such intangibles as personality, understanding, human sympathy, and great tact, all of which are increased rather than dimin- ished by time, however that time is occupied. This does not hold, of course, in the colleges, where the greatest scholars are the most respected and most highly paid members of the faculty.
