To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This has been found to be the case in some instances, but it is generally admitted that the individuals who have been trained in the public schools are not more reliable in adhering to their engagements than those who belong to preceding generations. Unfortunately much of the rudi- mentary scholarship thus acquired — whether compara- tively thorough in the beginning or not — is lost by the former pupil in the years that follow his withdrawal. He becomes a laborer or mechanic at once, and theref...ore has little time for reading after the work of the day is over, even if he feels the inclination — which he does not — and has books at his disposal. But he has no books ; there is not even a Bible in his cabin, and he never has an opportunity of perusing a newspaper. Year by year elapses without his refreshing his learning, and in time the principal part of it is obliterated from his memory — just as a fair acquaintance with the ancient languages is finally lost even by educated men after they become absorbed in the affairs of active life, although they may remember the meaning of many words or be able to translate a few sentences.
