To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the first place, because of the exacting drill to which the pupil has been submitted in his early life, his themes are not so full of faults. Then, as we shall see in Chapter VII, the French teacher, with the exception of the lower grade teacher in the primary school system, is not obliged to work so many hours a week that he has no spare time for marking written exer- cises. Again, he does not look upon theme-correcting as a disgraceful kind of drudgery that ought to be heaped upon some one... who has not the ambition or the intelligence to do the less strictly routine part of the teacher's work. This wholesome attitude in itself tends to make the reading less irksome. Then, too, the broad training which teachers have received gives them a* rich background that is espe- cially serviceable in marking themes. Finally, and chiefly, the French teacher saves himself almost immeasurably by ^ the careful preparation he requires the pupils to make before they begin writing. Instead of leaving a score of questions unsettled when he assigns a subject, he suggests, warns, and, through the methods I have already mentioned, brings the pupils to foresee and guard against a great many errors that otherwise would rise up for treatment after the themes had been submitted.
