/. /. E. C. Inquiries PUBLIC ATTENDANCE AT THE CINEMA (conclusion) Character of frequency of attendance (groups 3 and 6 of questions). A fact of interest can be learned from the nature of the attendance at the cinema, that is, if the cinemas are frequented by the students in the afternoon or evening, and whether in the week-days or on holidays. This inquiry derives additional value from the fact that it is of necessity connected with a consideration of the phenomenon of physical eye fatigue caused by the cinema, and also with the question as to whether the cinema may constitute an element of danger and distraction for the scholars. The results of both inquiries have already been published in the pages of this Review, and we shall mention again the conclusions drawn later on. In the following table the numerical data relative to the nature or kind of cinema attendance will be found, divided by centres, age and sex. DAYS OF ATTENDANCE Boys: Weekdays Holidays .
