What reading level is Museum Ideals of Purpose And Method book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The use of this natural method hampers the school in dis- charging its obligation to graduate; but forwards the mu- seum in discharging its obligation to educate. The highest achievements of men at once mature and especially gifted are what the museum has to impart; and the watchword of its docent task must be: "He that hath ears to hear let him hear. " Uttered on behalf of beauty, this summons has the same universal range it had when first spoken. The museum offers itself as docent not to a pr...ivileged few, but to every one according to his points of contact with the treasures it displays; and such points of contact, of one or another kind in infinite variety exist in every one. Amiel has said : "The supreme finesse in teaching consists in know- ing how to suggest; and for this the teacher must divine what it is that interests. " 1 The museum cannot teach under all conditions, but alone when one or another interest is awake in one or another visitor. In the nurture of these individual interests lies its office as docent.
