It would, however, be dangerous to generalize this finding until further work has been done, first because of the rather small numbers of teachers involved-estimated at about 28 in each group-with the possibility that they might not have been su&.ciently representative, second because of the very short time the pupils had spent in the school.…”

Co‐education: The Verdict of Experience

“…None-the-less, most of the opinions on co-education reported in this article, though reliable for the present age, might conceivably change with any profound change in the mwes and beliefs of society. The qualifying phrase ' most of ' is inserted because the question of the comparative standards of attainment in single-sex and co-educational grammar schools has recently been largely removed from the realm of opinion to the realm of fact by the work of a number of researchers (Dale, 1962 and.…”
