Swiss youth publications
Schweizer Jugendschriften was a series of booklets published by Heinrich Hintermann “on behalf of a commission appointed by the youth welfare office of the Canton of Zurich”. They were recommended by the Education Department of the Canton of Zurich , the School Board of the City of Zurich and the Swiss Pro Juventute Foundation .
Booklet series
In the format of the popular booklet novels , this edition belongs to the so-called good youth literature . These booklets were published by various organizations, especially in Austria and Switzerland , in order to form a counterpart to the normal “junk booklets”.
The task of Swiss youth publications should be to protect young people from “dirty and trash literature ”. To this end, demanding, entertaining and inexpensive literature was published as a role model , which was disseminated in schools and at home. The editors were convinced that this would prepare the youth for a constructive coexistence. The successor in Switzerland was the Schweizerische Jugendschriftenwerk , which published a similar series from 1932.
Edition history
The Swiss youth publications ran from 1923 to 1925. They consisted of 60 issues. The first issue was a double volume, while all subsequent issues were single issues.
The booklets were 32-48 pages thick, had a colored cover picture and cost 20 cts.
