To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It must not only lead to the unfoldment of faculties, but must fit for a life from which the recipient is sepa- rated by many centuries of development. The fact that a backward people are surrounded by a civilization which is so far in advance of their own is by no means an unmixed advantage. In the tempest- uous current of modern life the contestant must either swim on the surface or sink out of sight. He must either conform or succumb to the inexorable law of progress. The African chieftain w...ho would make a pilgrimage from his native principality to the city of Wash ington, might accomplish the first part of his journey by the original modes of transportation — in the primitive dugout and upon the backs of his slaves — but he would complete it upon the steamship, the rail- way, the electric car, and the automobile. How swift the transform- ation! and yet how suggestive of centuries of toil, struggle, and mental endeavor! It required the human race thousands of years to bridge * the chasm between savagery and civilization, but now it must be crossed by a school curriculum of a few years duration.
