What reading level is Modern Civic Art; Or, the City Made Beautiful book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And finally there is to be emphasised again the value of municipal control of trees. The park board, into whose hands they are very often placed when such control is exercised, has responsibility enough in the squares and parks. In the fascinating pro- blems which are offered by these, and the striking effects that can be secured in them, there is a temptation to overlook the trees or to delegate their care to a superintendent whose work has little over- seeing. It is safer at once to vest him ...with the full responsibility, and for the city to obtain a better officer by making the custody of the trees a distinct department, under the charge of a warden or forester.
In the United States this is already decreed by several State laws; and it is an interesting evidence of the foothold of modern civic art that an intellig- ent provision for the care of these ornaments of the street — pure ornaments as they are commonly thought to be — and details of street furnishing that the splendid cities of antiquity scarcely made a use of, should now be forced upon towns by the laws of states.
