I publish these statistics without any comments. All the same, I must make an observation on the subject of Table III. Too hasty conclusions should not be drawn from the fact that children of foreign nationalities go to the cinema oftener than Swiss children. This difference in the frequentation of the cinema might be due to psychological differences, or it might be simply the consequence of the fact that the majority of Swiss children, living with their families, are kept under careful watch and ward.
As to the scientific results of the enquiry, especially those of a psychological nature, I will take Question 10 (subjects preferred) as an example. We will examine the comparative results of the enquiry on this question from three points of view, that is :
a) variation of taste in children according to age ;
b) variation of taste in children in consequence of the war ;
c) degree of certitude in the results obtained.
Mile Aellig and Mile Jung have established, for the three towns concerned, the order of preference given by the children, under the age classification, to the four principal subjects: Topical subjects, Dramas, Comical Scenes and Travel.
(*). The difference in the number of answers in Table I and Table III is explained by the fact that in Table I the 108 answers of the mixed schools of Neuchatel have not been included.
