To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most important of all the training is the agricul- tural department, for which a solid foundation has been laid. This includes irrigation, forestry, gar- dening, stock and poultry-raising, bee-culture, etc. Where land is exceedingly costly and difficult to obtain, the possession of three hundred acres, lo- cated less than a mile from the school premises and mainly within the privileged Lebanon territory, un- der Christian government and largely under the supervision of European powers, affords ...extraor- dinary advantages. It includes a large tract under irrigation, contains ample building-sites overlook- ing the sea and plain, and commanding one of the noblest views in all the East, a superb site for an Digitized by Google 148 THE WORLD WORK institution, near enough to the city to be easy of access and yet far enough away to give ample room for development. An American windmill and tanks, set over a drilled well, raise the water from a depth of two hundred and fifty feet. Irrigation has involved not only the boring of artesian wells, but tunneling over fifteen hundred feet in rock, laying over three thou- sand feet of piping, building seven large masonry reservoirs to hold nearly four hundred thousand gallons and also three thousand feet of stone aque- duct, cutting a rock channel one himdred and twenty- six thousand cubic feet to turn a river with a wall of solid stone masonry along its banks, in order to restrain its freshets and inclose the garden, setting up pumps, water-wheels, etc.
