SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 1.-Edu-
Gators today began work on the plan
adopted by the city school board to
segregate the boys and girls in the
Broadway high school at the begin
ming of the fall semester next week.
1t will be the first time the expert
ment has been tried in Seattle.
School officials deny that moral
Questions had anything to do with
the adoption of the plan. Students
whose parents oppose the segregate
separate classroom idea will have
the privilege of attending any other
high school in the city.
Not only is it planned to segre-
gate the boys and girls, but Supt.
of Schools Cooper will assign, as far
as possible, men teachers for the
boys classes. Because of intellec-
tual and tempermental differences
in sexes said Supt. Cooper today,
1t is thought that each works more
effectively in separate classes, and
that they enjoy such separation.
