To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if the pupil desires to secure a really liberal course of instruction, such as will fit him for any one of the professions, and may ultimately lead him to the University, he should seek it in a properly equipped secondary school, which from the first aims at more extended literary culture, and has included among its earliest lessons regular discipline in language, mathematics, and science. But such a pupil should be discovered and taken from the elementary school much earlier, say, by the a...ge of eleven, and placed at once in the " Grammar " or other Secondary school. It is essential that he should be influenced by the aims and the methods of such a school in good time. For him it is neither necessary nor desirable that he should complete the primary school course up to the age of fourteen, at which that course naturally termin- ates. If he did so, his whole scheme of instruction would be dislocated ; he would not be ready to fit himself into the plans of teachers who had made the "humanities" or the formative studies from the first the staple of their teaching ; and the transition to the care of such teachers would seem abrupt, and would prove unsatisfactory.
