    QUESTION: Do you think that horror pictures of the Frankenstein type have a detrimental effect on young children?

    “Yes but it depends upon the intuitive mentality of the child in question. If the child is a mental phenomenon it will have a mental influence; but if it is a physical degenerate it will only have a physical effect.” – PAUL BARKER, Sophomore A & S

    “I do not think it has any sufficient effect upon their mentality. The impression gained may cause a temporary indisposition, but no serious effects will result.” – LARRY BABST, Junior A & S
