To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A certain degree of fatigue is the expected result of a day's work; it is normal; and when it is not revealed in the output, it is questionable whether the individual is approximating his capacity as nearly as he should approach it. When, however, the curve of output does show a falling-off, it is not necessarily a sign that fatigue has become excessive and it not necessarily conveys a warning that the output should be cut down. It is allow- able to consider whether output may not even be incre...ased by altering the conditions of work. William James has shown that by will power the first sensation of fatigue may be overcome and that a conse- quent second wind can increase the productivity of a man, if he is free from worry and strain. But modem physiol- ogists have proved that excessive stimulation can over- work the worker and thus reduce his productive life down to such a short period as twenty years ; whereas a man should be able to work forty years. Until recently, it was admitted that the worker might be speeded to his maxi- mum effort provided he freely consented to do so.
