Abstract
Summary. A questionnaire was administered to some 1,500 ex‐pupils of grammar schools, who were students in teacher training courses. It included questions on the pleasantness of the school atmosphere, the happiness of life in school, and the preference for mixed or single‐sex schools. The sample is admittedly not representative of all types of ex‐pupils. The differences found between the co‐educated women and women from girls' schools were highly significant with regard to the pleasantness of the school atmosphere and the happiness of life in school, whereas the differences between the men's groups were not significant. Men and women educated in mixed schools were almost unanimous in their favour, whereas those from single‐sex schools were very divided.
