What reading level is The Springfield Tests, 1846-1905-6 : a Study in the Three R's book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In addition, a ten- weeks' course in mensuration was given during the second year, while a general review was taken in the last half of the senior year.
But the objection may be made that the work in arithmetic in the old high school was probably advanced work, and as such was hardly fitted to prepare these pupils well for abstract work in whole numbers and fractions, simple interest and simple mensura- tion. Our present course of study for grades eight and nine in- cludes work in square root,
...bank discount, stocks and bonds, partial payments, mensuration and inventional geometry. It is to be questioned whether the old high school course was more advanced than this. These facts would seemingly justify the opinion that the high school pupils of 1846 brought to this arith- metic test nearly as recent knowledge of the simple operations involved as did the children who tried the same work in 1905.
No such question can be raised regarding the fairness of the test in spelling. It will be conceded at once by every fair-minded person that these high school children were probably better spellers than they were when they were in the highest grammar grade.
