What reading level is Value of the Classics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For the professional man who is highly ambitious of professional success, a study of the classics has no little practical value. In that I am famihar with no method by which the control and mastery of the English Ian- 230 VALUE OF THE CLASSICS guage can be acquired equal to that of the prolonged study of both Latin and Greek.
The minute you inquire as to the practical value of a liberal education or any of its constituents, you in a measure debase the cause of education. Nothing in my judgment ...is more demoraUzing than to put constantly before the ingenuous youth of the nation the question whether or not the study of this, that or the other sub- ject will enable them the better to earn a living or to make money. You might just as well discuss with them whether it pays to be patriotic, self sacrificing and heroic. Generally speaking I think these quaHties are far less likely to contribute to their pecuniary success than many that are more sordid and less admirable.
Therefore, I regard it as highly desirable that young men should study things which are of no practical value to them if they seek and are worthy of a hberal educa- tion.
