THE POINTER
JANUARY 18, 1949
^Scholastic^ Poll Shows
Why Youth Attend Movies
What are the movie habits of^
high school students ? Why do
they go to see certain films?
A poll, conducted by Scholastic
Magazine among 79,755 high
school students indicates that
more than 67% of all junior and
senior high school students at
tend the movies at least once a
week.
The boys and girls who re
ceived ballots from the Institute
of Student Opinion were divided
as to the most important factor
influencing their choice of movies.
In fact, the highest percentage
19.10% said that they “just went”
for no particular reason. This
group was closely followed by
18.46%'who went because they
read about - the film in a maga
zine, and 16.33% who hea^ their
school friends talk about it.
“It is significant,” points out
M. R. Robinson, president and
publisher of Scholastic Magazine,
“that aproximately one third of
the total vote indicated that in
fluences directly traceable to
school life are a paramount fac
tor in selection of movies.”
