- Perhaps it is precisely because they are so carefully protected that they crave this type of reading. In most children's lives today there is all too little opportunity for any real adventuring. Each day is painfully like the last—and home is a place whose daily routine leaves little room for the unexpected. How else can these protected children experience the thrill of danger so vicariously? Where can they find adventure so swift, so daring, so breath-taking—and so unhampered by the limits of probability—as in the comics or in movie and radio thrillers. And what safer was to enjoy the thrills of danger than knowing, with deep certainty, good will triumph over evil—by no matter what improbable means. For the children know full well in these tales their hero will survive whatever threats and trials beset his path, and the villain will be thoroughly punished for his evil-doing, often perishing to the very trick which he had prepared to destroy the hero. Here, surely is the most soul-satisfying justice! (en)
- It is our desire to publish our magazines in strict adherence to accepted standards of decency and good taste. The following code must be followed both as to spirit and to letter; there are no exceptions.
Writers and artists are advised to confine their contributions to material that is completely above any possible criticism. Our requirements are rigid, and much time and effort will be saved if they are strictly adhered to.
In this rapidly growing field, many recent comic books have fallen far short of our standards. We have no intention of catering to that fringe of the public which forms the market for vulgar, obscene or vicious literature. Our obligation to the youth of America and parents requires us to publish only wholesome material.
We wish to point out that this code of editorial practice has been prepared with the advice and assistance of:
Dr. Robert Thorndike, Teachers College, Columbia University.
Miss Josette Frank, Staff Advisor to the Children's Book Committee, Child Study Association of America.
Dr. Ruth Perl, Associate Member, American Psychological Association.
Dr. C. Bowie Millican, Department of English Literature, New York University. (en)
