approached from various points of view - physiology, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, criminology, education - and the results have been published in many languages and places. Indeed, almost the only completely unassailable conclusion that may be drawn from a study of these pages is that great and growing importance is attached to the problem of film and youth. There is widespread agreement that something should be done. What should be done is quite another matter. Few authoritative judgements could be made simply on the evidence of the bibliographical data collected here - at least without reference to the full texts of the books and articles themselves. Even then, the considered opinions and apparently substantiated conclusions of one writer seem, all too often, to cancel out those of another. As one author puts it, if one thing is known with certainty about children and the cinema, it is that very little is known with certainty about children and the cinema - beyond the obvious fact that they have a persistent liking for it. Yet, when this note of caution has been sounded, there are nevertheless some broad trends which can be discerned in the present bibliography and which should not be overlooked. At various points in this world debate on the cinema's influence it is possible, without taking a show of hands, to gauge "the feeling of the meeting". Studies on the educational film - that is, on the use of the film strictly as a teaching aid - have been excluded from this bibliography, in order to keep the publication within manageable proportions: but such action does not rule out the topic of film education ("education cinématographique") or, as it is called in several countries, "film appreciation". In point of fact, the growing interest in film education, allied with the development of ciné-clubs for the young, the production and distribution of special children's entertainment films and the presentation of special programmes, represents the most noticeable of the trends to be detected here. A large number of writers advocate that teaching about the cinema should not merely be encouraged but that it should be given formal recognition in the school curriculum. In several countries (e.g. the Union of Soviet Yocialist Republics and the United Kingdom), even before the period coveredbythis book, this attitude existed." (Introduction, page 5)

"[...] the “comics” industry has never looked back. Not only do strip cartoons occupy an ever greater pkce in papers for adults, but a specialized press has developed for children, and today it is estimated that every American child reads, on an average, between 10 and 12 comic books’ a week.
...
In every countrg where the media of expression have come to play an important part in daily life, there has been a similar development in the press catering for children. The film and the radio also count children among their most faithful public. It is therefore not surprising that government authorities as well as educators in many countries have become concerned about the influence that press, film and radio can exert on growing minds. At its Fifth Session, in 1950, Unesco’s General Conference adopted a resolution authorizing the Director-General “to collect and disseminate information on the methods used or contemplated in various countries to protect children from the undesirable influence which may be exerted by the press, the radio and the film, and especially to improve children’s newspapers and literature”. For the purpose of this study we have chosen 12 countries that are characteristic of different civilizations-Belgium, France, the German Federal Republic, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Stales and Uruguay [...] It has not been practicable to examine the position of the children’s press in every country, nor has it been possible to study every paper existing in the countries which we have taken as examples. Only those about which we have adequate information arid which seem to us especially typical have been considered." (Preface)
