What reading level is The Manual Arts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, such acquaint- ance is the foundation for effective work In voca- tional guidance. A course thru the grades con- sisting merely of paper and cardboard work, still- life drawing, and a course of benchwork in wood is decidedly Inferior to a course which includes fundamental processes in (a) the graphic arts — drawing and picture making, (b) the mechanic arts — woodworking and metalworking, (c) the plastic arts — modeling and pottery, (d) the textile arts — weaving, braiding, sewing, and... garment making, and (e) the bookmaking arts — paper and cardboard work, lettering, bookbinding and leather tooling. Not one of these five subdivi- sions of the manual arts can be omitted from the course without correspondingly limiting the possi- bilities for the development of appreciation. But it is not sufficient that the child do the work merely, even in all these varied arts and Indus- tries; he must be led to see beyond the work of his own hands; he must learn something of the rela- tionship of each art to the great out-of-school world into which he will soon be thrown, and to the history of Industrial effort.
