We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

It is worth noting that the youngest children of both sexes, that is children under 12, show a high frequency of attendance. Thus the boys go to the cinema from once or twice or oftener a week in the proportion of 66.27 per cent and the girls of the same age in the increased proportion of 59.65 per cent as compared to elder children. As a general rule, girls frequent the cinema more often as they grow older in a bigger proportion than boys.

Frequency of attendance shows a notable progression for the larger centres in comparison with the smaller centres. The obvious logical explanation of this lies in the fact that, while in urban centres, all or the greater part of public amusement halls are open every day, in rural districts they are only open a few days each week or month. The long hours attached to agricultural and operatives' labour, in the smaller centres and country conditions generally contribute to explain the phenomenon.
