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.
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS AND THE CINEMA
knights got behind the English Bowman they fled but near the end of the battle the French defeted.
Both children are intelligent. Hazel, I am sure, shows more school diligence than Peter, but the latter may possibly have more innate abilities. Hazel's father belongs to the employee class; Peter's father is an 'intellectual', the writer of the present book. While Peter's observations are subtler ('all sorts of things about France and her rights'), both children are unable to record (and perhaps to understand?) the full meaning of the play.
Now to the questionnaires. To repeat, the children are 10 years old. Out of the 42 children, 5 children admit that they visit the cinema twice a week, 3 go three times. All the others, except one child who goes once a month, go once a week.
The questionnaires reveal, too, that only 6 children are content with their one weekly visit (3 boys and 3 girls). The boy who goes once a month and whose first three preferences are in this order, historical pictures, educational pictures and cartoons, is also content with his monthly visit. Yet 16 children who go once a week would like to go twice (6 boys, 10 girls); // children would even prefer to go three times (2 already go twice, 1 actually goes three times already, the remaining 8 go only once a week — 3 boys, 5 girls) . 6 children express the wish to be able to go four times a week (but of these 4 go once, 1 three times, 1 twice — 2 boys, 4 girls). Finally, 2 (1 boy, 1 girl) would like to go five times.
It is gratifying to learn from our documents that all children except one have to ask their parents for permission to go. The importance of this fact can hardly be over-estimated. For if this should be a sociologically representative statement, which it well may be, it would tend to indicate that through a vigilant and energetic process of parental education (through press, radio, adult educational classes) parents might be taught what films their children ought or ought not to see.
This leads us to the thorny problem of the child's film preferences. Our questionnaires enabled us to prepare the following three lists of preferences:
