What reading level is The Twelve Principles of Efficiency book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With our photography, with our spectro- scopes, we find that in one direction the stars are widening out, that in the opposite direction they are drawing together, as our solar system swings through space; and ultimately we shall fall back on the whole universe as chief despatcher.
241 242 THE PRINCIPLES OP EFFICIENCY If we could photo^aph the stars at intervals of a hundred years until we had five-thousand pictures, and then run the views on a moving- picture machine, all would be rapid interl...acing motion where now there seems to be immutable rest.
So much for the infinitely large; but de- spatching is just as much in evidence in the infinitely little.
In three weeks' time, a hen's egg, if kept warm, will change from an albuminous and fatty mass into the living chick. As boys in an English school we secured cards of silkworm eggs, hatched them by the heat of our own bodies, carefully reared the worms, watching the alternate periods of voracious activity and sloughing numbness. We watched them spin their cocoons, within which they changed to chrysalids, to emerge later as delicately beauti- ful moths — unless we cut short their despatch- ing and despatched them our way with boiling water.
