ABSTRACT
This chapter deals only with the consistent observation and use of some well-known principles of the study of social phenomena as applied to this specific object of research, rather than with the mathematical apparatus or technical devices of analysis. The success rate and nature of nonschool activities are far from identical among individual categories of pupils. Individual types of nonschool activities exhibit a different "sensitivity" to the particular features of the geographic location of the city's school pupils. The chapter discusses the question of particular features of the development of boys and girls during their school careers only in connection with the problem of ensuring the socioeconomic equality of women and men in the society. One of the forms of differentiation that still survives in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) is some lag on the part of women in the nature of the functions they perform in social production in terms of their cultural-educational level.
