What reading level is Fifty Years of a Civilizing Force An Historical And a Critical Study of the Wor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This [228] NATIONAL BOARD AS A CIVILIZING FORCE is one of the respects in which the National Board has been a civilizing force, but there are others hardly less striking.
Civilization moves slowly when it moves blindly; men and nations make swifter progress when their ideals are clearly before them. Fixing ideal stand- ards is of the essence of the National Board's later work. It has promulgated standards in building- codes, in municipal fire and water departments, in electrical installations, ...in countless devices, materials, and processes affecting fire hazard, in the gathering of statistics, in methods of adjustment, and in policy- and other forms of contract. These standards have been issued, not as commands but as suggestions; in- fluence has been substituted for authority. Wher- ever adopted, and they have been adopted widely, they have bettered methods and improved conditions.
The elimination of prejudgment and guesswork is a characteristic of advanced civilization. Through its Actuarial Bureau, its Underwriters' Laboratories, its Committee on Fire Prevention, and otherwise the National Board is spending money and effort to ob- tain exact knowledge and to draw true conclusions.
