Junior Judgments
WHICH DO YOU THINK MAKES BETTER READING—
COMIC BOOKS, OR THE CLASSICS?
Else Knoedeler, Saline—I've
"tead quite a few of th'e comic
books in my day, and I don't
think they did me any harm
I have also read classics that
were assigned to me in school,
and they didn't do any harm
either; but they're no better
than comics for passing the
time away enjoyably.
Mike Johnson, Saline—I'll
take good adventure j stories
whenever I can find them, in
comics or in regular books.
. Brenda Smith, Saline—I've
tried them both, and I like the
classics better.
Pat Johnson, Saline—I don't
read comic books. Not any more.
I had a stack of them about a
foot high, but Tve given them
all to my brother. I enjoy real
books now. The funnies are OK
for kids.
Julius Haab, Supt. of Schools
•—Some of the comic books certainly aren't for the best interest of growing children. And
I would always prefer to have
children read something that
gives them more intellectual development than most comic
books do. Basically, though,
there's nothing wrong with comics, if their subject matter is
good and if they can rouse diil-
dren's interest in reading.
Marlene Wild, Saline—I've
never spent much time with
either. Too many other, things
J;o do.
