To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We take them at an early age and bring them into school-rooms almost always over-crowded, very often ill-ventilated, and place them at desks ill-constructed and ill-adapted to their physical needs. We keep them at work there in cramped positions, which even my friend from Maine would hardly justify as part of any gymnastic, for five hours a day during years. Whatever view a man may take of the function of the State as to the proper use of our schools, it seems to me too clear to need to be disc...ussed that, if the State will exercise its power to take our children from us by force of law and place them in cramped positions and false attitudes for five hours a day, shut up like jack-knives, that the State has the right and it is its duty to, at least, undo the mischief it has caused. It ought at least to give the children time and opportunity to straighten themselves out, after all 86 the injury which has been done to them through these restrained positions and this repressed activity. I am, myself, not so anxious about the functions of the State, or about the use to which we shall put our school-rooms and teachers, as to have any scruples regarding the farther introduction of gymnastics into the schools, even beyond the point necessary to undo the mischief which the State has done.
