tainment. Nor is there anything to argue from the fact that the replies to the questionnaires come from the children and not the parents, because in working class families, the children generally assist their fathers and mothers in their work, even if they do not use their leisure time in work of their own, the income from which goes to swell the family budget. The children of shopkeepers occupy the third place in the category, while the lowest attendance on Sundays and holidays is returned by the children of persons of private means and professional men whose children rarely, or not at all, assist them in their work.
The maximums and minimums are shown by the following table :

As was the case for the holidays, the highest attendance in the evening hours is shown by the categories of agriculturists and workmen who are obliged, both parents and children, to utilize the afternoons in the best method possible for their work The lowest evening attendance is to be observed among the professional and employee classes, and this is probably due to the fact that they have possibilities of finding other forms of amusement in the evening apart from cinema.
The progressions from the maximum to the minimum can be seen from the following table :
Afternoon Attendance : Evening Attendance :
Professional Men Agriculturists
Employees Workmen
Shop-keepers Persons of Private Means

Has attendance during weekdays at the cinema, and therefore during school days and in evening hours, any effect on the physical condition of the children or on their activity or diligence or sense of duty ?
