SEGREGATION OF SEXES
In SCHOOLS UNPOPULAR
School Authorizes in the District Are
in Favor of the Present
System.

1t is tho consencus of opinion of Wash
ington school authorities that the plan OF
the Social Purity Club, for the segrega-
ton of the sexes in the public schools,
Is Impractical. and would be OF no mate
rial benefit. Co-education Is declared to
be "a natural education" and the fore
most educators of the city feel that the
present system has proved satisfactory.
and a change would be ill-advised.
1T is futile to attempt segregation
where co-education has existed" said DR..
William NJ. Davidson. superintendent OF
schools. yesterday. Nothing is to be
gained by It," said Miss Annie Tolman
Smith, of the Bureau of Education who
is an authority on the subject. having
made nationwide study OF experiments
in this phase OF education in various
parts of the country IN the course OF an
Investigation made by the bureau.
I'm perfectly satisfied with the pres
ent arrangement commented Assistant
Superintendent Thurston. while former
Superintendent A. T. Stuart went a step
farther and declared that "co-education
Is a natural education" Mr.. Stuart told
OF the gradual transition in the Washing
ton schools from sex segregation to CO.
education. The county schools and the
schools in Georgetown and on Capitol
Hill have been mixed" schools for nearly
forty years. Gradually the change came
in other parts OF the city. the Northwest
section being the last to fall In line
under the SUPPLEMENTARY Of former Su-
perintendent W. z. Powell.
The opinion OF high school principals
where boys and girls have already min
gled freely is unanimous in favor OF the
natural method.
There is no argument on the question
in elementary schools" asserted Elliott
Kramer, supervisor Of the second divi-
sion graded schools. 'All you have to do
is watch boys and girls play together
on the Fairgrounds. All the fences have
been taken down, and now We wonder
why we ever had them up" Miss Flora
NJ. Hendley, the first woman TO be ap-
pointed supervisor, and before her ap-
pointment an experienced teacher at DIFF
ferent times OF ''all boys" schools, "all
girls schools, and mixed" schools
makes the unqualified statement that 1t
is much better for both boys and girl,
20 be taught together.
The only school in the District OF
Columbia where coeducation does not
at present exist is the Normal School:
even there co-education is encouraged.
but for several years no boys have elected
TO take the teaching course.
