This comparison brings up once more the fact. that about nine-tenths of the magazines and papers that come into this country from the United States feature sex stuff. In .fact they*vie with one another to see which can get the most pictures of practically nude women. One New York publication that comes into this -country has in two years secured a circulation as large as the Toronto Globe. This is, a magazine that is supposed to be made up of confessions of women. `The stuff is pure bunk, being writ- `most ofthem bald-headed "old boys who smokepipes.

' About the age of five or six a child seems to enjoy ,l;falling down or having other people; -"fall down, grotesque dances, making} s,faces, bumping into people, things ,-: out of their places. Later he begins ljto enjoyjthe misfortunes of others. I Few of us, said Dr. Blatz, ever get _;,beyond that, evidence of which is. `seen in the movie comedies, which gfeature slap-stick, with puns abound- ling in the captions. The child next I beginsto enjoy jokes where some- Lone gets the better of someone else! .and the last stage is where the child [or adult begins to enjoy the subtle , incongruities `of life, the best ex`- ample of which is Alice in Wonder- land. This story cannot be enjoyed i under_ten `years of age and many go~ ,.back to it after thirty, when they , have thrown off the effects of their . f education. ` Imagination is the source of cre`-' ative genius and should be encourag:-` `ed, stated Dr." Blatz in conclusion. Invention, literature and the arts are all children of imagination. All chil- dren want to write poetry and most of them do, and `he believed that they should be encouraged. Between the ages of ten and ;eleven the child becomes critical and `asks any number of embarassing questions of its parents and teach- .ers. Too much repression at this time.
