Abstract

This article focuses on the state of coeducation in the U.S. Coeducation is the most economical method of giving instruction. Aside from the question of economy, a further point in favor of coeducation may be submitted to those who are particularly interested in the education of women, While boys would seem not be losers by such a system, girls may easily be gainers. But college life outside the classroom and the study includes a beneficent idleness, as well as microcosmic activities. In the idle hours, boys and girls alike suffer from coeducation. This way, the opponents are certainly justified in pointing to indications that some institutions and some branches of study are likely to suffer from coeducation. Undergraduate boys say that they do not want girls about. Girls say that they will not go where there are boys.
