To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The number of its movements perhaps rarely exceeded twenty or thirty per minute. But the invention of Guten- berg, with its consequent development of educa- tional ideals and facilities, has harnessed the eye 6$ THE TEACHER'S HEALTH to the wearying treadmill of the printed page. Working at this unnatural task it must accom- plish from one hundred to one hundred and fifty- separate movements and fixations per minute. It has not had time to adjust itself to the new demands upon it, and by hasteni...ng overmuch its domestication we threaten it with degeneracy. Due to the nature of their work, defective vision is more common among teachers than among any other class of people. In Germany about thirty-five per cent of the teachers wear glasses ; though in the United States probably not more than fifteen to twenty-five per cent. The difference is largely if not wholly explained by the unwillingness of our women teachers to risk the disfigurement of spectacles. Conse- quently many of them are chronic sufferers from relievable eye-strain.
