ative. These returns are all the more significant from the fact that they refer to the answers as a whole, including those children (20 %) who did not answer the question, either because they never went there (we have seen above that 18 % answered that they never went to the cinema), or for some other reason.
A larger number of girls than of boys answer that they don't care much to go to the cinema or don't like it.
Enjoyment of the cinema is most marked among the girls at the age if 14 and the boys at 15.

These children are attracted to the cinema mainly because it is interesting (36 %). It is worth noting that the girls are more attracted by the amusing side of the film than the boys, who go there r'ather as a pastime: this need of recreation diminishes however with years, while — as Mile Jung observes — the answer that it is « instructive » becomes more frequent.
Mile Jung has recorded some of the answers given by the children: « it develops the understanding and intelligence », « it is very striking)), « it thrills me)), ac'est chic », «it brings new ideas », « it influences children », « I like to see people moving about », « because I meet friends there », etc.
