imitating what he has seen at the cinema ; another states that he is not an actor ; while another replies no to the question, adding « it might become dangerous, one might go mad ».
1 2th. Question. Are your artistic emotions aroused by the cinema ?
This question was put to 717 boys and 202 girls. The boys ranged in age from 11 to 18 years, and the girls from 15 to 18. Out of a total of 919 children who were interrogated, 468 replied, and the answers may be tabulated as follows :
Girls Boys Total
Yes 14 107 121
Sometimes 11 67 78
Seldom 9 26 35
Total number of affirmative answers 34 200 234 No 53 181 234
Grand total 87 381 468
It is a curious fact that, on the whole, the number of « noes » and « yeses » is about equal. In tabulating the answers by sex, we see that « yes » predominates among the boys and « no » among the girls. The comparative value of these figures, however, might seem somewhat doubtful when we consider that the smaller girls, from 11 to 14 years of age, wTere not interrogated, and that the majority of « yeses » among the boys may perhaps be due to youthful enthusiasm. But this cannot be the case, for if we consider only the answers of the boys ranging from 15 to 18 years, like those of the girls, the majority of affirmatives is maintained : out of 197 answers, yes occurs 106 times and no 91.
Among the negative answers given to the 12th. question, Mile Jung noted the answer of a scholar, very seriously given : « emotion is generally unhealthy ».
The subjects especially mentioned by the children as arousing artistic feeling are those showing beautiful countries and historical events. With regard to the latter, Mile Jung observes that the feeling seems to be more patriotic than artistic.
