A coeducational(男女合校的) school offers children nothing less than a tree version of society in miniature(缩影). Boys and girls are given the 47 to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of 　48 　ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical 　49　 it is (to give just a small example) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa. When　 50　 , boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its 　51　 place.

　　The greatest contribution of coeducation is 　52　 the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are 　53　 creatures. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school remove illusions of this kind. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and 　54 　problems involved in growing up. These can better be 　55　 in a coeducational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to 　56　 society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.
