Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Co-Education: A Series of Essays
There seems to be no doubt that the plan of edu cating boys and girls together is taking a steadily increasing hold on our English nation. Whereas five and-twenty years ago the idea was scarcely mentioned, except for elementary schools in country districts, or if mentioned only derided, it is now regarded in many quarters as not only possible but even desir able The only questions asked are: How long should co-education continue? And How far is it practicable?
This little book is the outcome of an expedition taken by the editor in 1901, to various parts of Hants, Derbyshire and Lancashire, in order to find out what was being done for the advance of co-education in secondary schools. It is the result of the discovery that, whilst experiments of very varying degrees of thoroughness are being tried, and spreading in all directions among various classes, these experiments are often being carried on through private enterprise, in almost total ignorance of the work of others.
