CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
children's cinemas as in Russia. The lines along which children's films should be produced must be worked out fully, but certain indications can be given here. Fairy tales and children's classics could be filmed, and much help might be obtained by making arrangements for showing foreign children's films in this country, especially Russian and Canadian, and studying them from the point of view of production. Many excellent children's classics and fairy-tales contain all the elements which appeal to children, but care would have to be taken not to represent scenes likely to frighten the younger children. In cartoons, for instance, close-ups of terrifying monsters are found to frighten children, also scenes of death and decay. Exciting scenes of pursuit, conquest, and fighting are not harmful, but lengthy scenes of torture and death or punishment of a criminal are unsuitable.
In conclusion, we should like to put forward the suggestion that the slides on moral virtue, shown at club performances, are perhaps unnecessary as well as extremely inartistic. The effect they ;are likely to have on the child's moral outlook is negligible: 'The good', as Piaget points out, 'is not, like duty, the result of a constraint exercised by society upon the individual. The aspiration to the good is of different stuff from the obedience given to an imperative rule . . . The rule of constraint remains external to the child's spirit and does not lead to as effective an obedience as the adult would wish.' The moral should always be given more indirectly, possibly 'by example', during a particular situation in which a moral is required.

MY FAVOURITE FILM
i. A.B.
The sort of films I like best are historical films, which tell the story of some famous person. They tell about the life of the person. When the film is made the main facts are used but some small incidents are added. This does not spoil the film, but only makes it better because then one does not know all of what one is going to see.
