Critics of the co-educative system are not wanting ; but if we cast aside the prejudices and conventions of our semi-civilisation, its intrinsic superiority is apparent. The mischievous isolation of each sex through- out the long years of training for life, followed by the inevitable sudden plunge into each other's society, is obviously unnatural, hostile to the development of character, and fraught with grave danger to morality. The separate system of education is a survival of the ages when t...he monastic ideal was deemed the only one praiseworthy ; it is indeed a fitting prelude to a cloistered existence, but absurd as a preparation for the battle for life. As was well said by one of the speakers at the last Interna t lot) al Congress of Women, "You cannot train for life if you deprive your pupils, at their most formative and receptive age, of: all practical experience of that which is destined to be the strongest human force in life, the influence of sex on sex. " This was spoken with particular reference to co-education in secondary schools, but the principle here laid down is true of every stage of training.
