To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It became evident that all three must be combined from the very first. The solution of^the difficulty lay in the use of phonetic script in the initial stage. We introduced that of the Association phonetique internationale last January, and we have every reason to be satisfied with the result. It reduces to a minimum the difficulties of articu- lation. It trains the ear and the faculty of attention to a degree which, of itself, would give it a great educational value. . . . The stage of transiti...on to ordinary spelling offers no difficulties whatever, if only it be carried out gradually and methodically. . . . Last, but not least, the use of phonetics keeps the teacher up to the mark in the matter of pronunciation, and helps him to correct his own defects. " . . . "Unless the alphabet used is phonetic there is likely to be con- fusion just at the time when clear impressions and associations are all-important. In short, some sort of phonetic alphabet is the best 'mistake preventor' in the matter of pronunciation.
