Awusing and Significant Repliea to Questionnaire questionnaire was sent out lately to 3,000 Chicago school children. Its object, according te "The Outlook," was to get some light on the children's tastes and habits as regards moving pictures. The replies were amusing; they were also strongly indicative of the need of supervision of children's attendance at the movies by their parents and of some general and effective editing or censoring of movies that are seen by children. It is not surprising that 87 per cent. of the children who answered these queries attend movie performances at least once a week. It is a little surprising to find that the 2,610 pupils of six schools who attend movies spend in the aggregate 2920 a week, which would amount in a year to about $46,-
Attendance two or three times a week was general, and a very large proportion of the children went oftener. The maximum was reach. ed by one boy who answered: "I go to the movies nine times a week—every night and the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday." Mrs.
L. Moulton, who sent out this questionnaire in behalf of the [illinois Council of Parent-Teacher Associations, comments that the number of such replies as "I always go every Friday night, ae there is no school the next day," shows that the children go to the movies Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday about as regularly aa the old-fashioned child used to go te Sunday school on Sunday.
