To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A gymnasium is considered as essential as a lecture room to the equipment of a school. In fact it is largely due to the influence of the people's high schools that gymnastics have been so generally introduced into the school life of Denmark. A modified form of the Swedish Lyng system is used, and every student is given the special attention his needs require. Gymnastics are not looked upon as a hateful drill by these sturdy rural people, but as a joyous opportunity for physical movement and for... building up their bodies into still more robust health. Variations in emphasis. Additional light is thrown upon the cur- riculum by the differences in attention devoted to the various sub- jects. 1 Danish, historj^ geography, arithmetic, and gymnastics are found in all the schools. The variation in the number of hours de- voted to these is very large, but there is a fairly well-defined mode in each subject, most clearly marked in the case of gymnastics. Physics is found in all but one school, literary readings in all but three, drawing in all but six, agriculture in all but seven, and hy- giene in all but nine.
