To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Between three and six there is a decided gain in steadiness of control ; but even so, the fingers are less well controlled than are the arms as a whole. It is in- teresting to note that girls show superior ability to boys in this. In general bodily control of complex coordination a six-year-old may have acquired about half the ability he ever will, but in control of the fingers CHANGING PHYSICAL POWERS 55 he has less than one fifth the skill that adults have. In strength, too, there is gain dur...ing this period, till at six boys have about one fifth of the strength of average sixteen-year-olds as measured by the grip of the hands. Here again girls have made a greater rela- tive gain by six ; though, as a woman's strength is so much less than a man's, this statement only means that girls at six have a greater proportion of the strength they will ultimately attain than boys have, not that their hands are stronger than boys' hands. In the skill necessary for learning to sing, most four- year-olds can keep time to a simple two-beat measure.
