Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Thus under one-third had, on their own showing, attempted to read all the nformation leaflets. But further questioning indicated that many who said they had read all, did not know how many there really were, and many thought there were only two or three of the leaflets. As a man said, "Yes, I read them. I read them all. The one issued by the Government, another by the Borough Council. Very good."'
