CO-EDUCATION
Sir,--An interesting Southland panel recently discussing co-education put forward the view that mixed classes further an understanding between the sexes, Some speakers felt that the opportunity for boys and girls to work, as well as to play together, built up natural and healthy relationships which stand them in good stead in adult life. It would be interesting to know if this has any bearing on the familiar New Zealand habit of the sexes to segregate themselves at social functions. I wonder if any members of the panel have noticed this tendency lessened in communities where co-education exists? Or do the ladies just as inevitably sort themselves out in one end of the room to talk recipes, while the men huddle discreetly in the other?
