ABSTRACT

A large majority of the women judged the attitude towards sex to be healthier in their co-educational school than in their girls' school. There was a greater tendency for women who had been senior pupils in co-educational schools to judge the attitude to sex to be healthier in such schools than for women who had attended girls' schools as seniors. The free responses again enable to interpret more accurately the significance of the estimates. The estimates of the male ex-pupils were almost as overwhelmingly favourable for the co-educational schools as were those of the females, though the percentage of the men who judged the attitude towards sex in their boys' schools to be healthier than in their co-educational schools rose to among those who attended their boys' school as seniors. However, as this evidence is not available it can only say that the data examined in this chapter are strongly in favour of the co-educational school.
