What reading level is The Privileged Classes book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A well-educated man distinguishes himself from an unedu- cated one chiefly because, for general purposes, his faculties are better under his control. Educated people, in short, when confronted with new or unex- pected problems, can generally use their wits better than those who are uned- ucated. Here we are on purely practical ground. The simple question becomes one of plain fact, not of prejudice.
What kind of education makes people most efficient for general purposes?
Honestly answering this,... though I am [167] THE PRIVILEGED CLASSES myself professor of a radical and prac- tical subject, I am bound to say that purely practical considerations go far to justify the old system of classics and mathematics, in comparison with any- thing newer.
Though I cannot be sure that any- body else would agree with me through- out, I find some warrant for this opin- ion when I recall a recurrent discussion in the Harvard faculty. At various times, the requirements for admission to Harvard College have been altered, in the interest of educational reform.
