the query pals and math teachers alike In Hal ton Hills Despite the for female participation In this trn ditlonaily male ted course the girls are still outnumbered by the fellows Its the same in the physics courses Lota of guys but where are the girls when cornea to figuring out the weight of a man in a moving elevator According to course enrolments as of Sept JO 1SS3 at Acton High School there are only nine girls taking physics In Grade 13 compared to 22 boys However theres reason to cheer The numbers are weighted in favor of the girls when It comes to Grade biology to and chemistry 26 to IS This is one lity I didnt expect to see principal Betty Moore commented when perusing the the HERALD Features sciences probably they require physics at unl and girls Instead of planning to be nurses now are to be doctors Mr Baker said They might v ant to go further and don want to close any doors He said that having a sponsible for the shift Mr Baker shared Mr Beer a view that having a female teacher has provided a positive role model for the female students in the school perhaps encouraging and SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday January IS IBM Page where the guys are pared to boys It begged the on Do we have more boys than girla In Grade The answer was not really There are only live more boys than girls In the graduating class In the language cour Mr Baker led per cent of he students are female compared to per cent male He suggested it may be due to girls develop ing language skills earlier than boys and doing more reading as readolescents The statistics at Acton High are similar In the Grades and 12 French courses there are more than double the number of girls taking French than boys In Grade 13 there arc only six daring boys In a class of more of them to take physics The head of the math department at GDHS said there has been very little change In male and female enrolments in math courses over the past five years with classes equally repre sented by the two sexes except when It comes to Grade 13 algebra A male dominated course algebra could well be the choice of males because It is a requisite course for the traditionally male dominated fields like engineering science Maths at Acton High had equal numbers of malea and females enrolled in Grades 11 and but the figures changed In Grade Principal Betty Moore noted there were almost twice as many boys as girls taking iheGraden maths In algebra class there were only three girls compared to IS boys in calculus there were girls compared to 31 boys and in rela lions and functions there were girls com Female students still shy of math science courses DUN science statistics Mon day I very pleased to see it She said student choices for courses often depend on the careers they plan to pursue after secondary school Grade chemistry is a course requirement for many of the traditionally female occupations like nursing as is Grade biology Mrs Moore noteo Disappointed with the number of females in the Grade 13 physics course she expressed surprise there were as the statistics showed At Georgetown Dlstlct High School the situati on a little differ ent Principal Don Baker said the boys outnumber the girls In the physics and chemi courses but that department chairman Tom Beer had noticed a change In the number of girls taking physics According to Mr Beer there has been a shift in the last three years to more girls selecting physics than ever before I dont know why more girls would be taking more physics courses now except that for any of the health ByANIPEDERIAN Herald Staff Writer Are female students limiting their chances for entry Into and technical fields A survey of secondary school course enrol In Ontario Indies tes yes According to the recently released results of the IBM pro vincial survey by the Ministry of Education there are substantial disparities In the numb er of boys and girls In the math science Ian guage and technological courses The principals of 173 schools reported on enrolment by grade level and sex of their students In very few instances did female participation ra exceed those of the male In math Math Is compulsory In Grades and 10 and enrolment by the two sexes equal In these grades EXCEEDED In the senior math courses particularly in Grade 12 male enrol ment exceeded the female Data showed that for the three Grade 13 maths relations and functions calculus and algebra there were the least number of girls in algebra and the most In relations and functions On the average SI per cent of the Grade 13 math student are male As for Grade 11 and 12 computer science cour males were at least double the enrolment of females The survey called math a male domain with a higher percent age of girls dropping math by Grade 12 28 per cent of girls versus per cent of boys Wllh a tew notable exceptions the sciences are a male domain of study the survey said Males exceeded females in senior and honor chemistry courses intermediate and senior environmental science courses senior geology and senior and honor physics courses CONFIRMED With the exception of biology the confirm the adage that science la a mans world the study said There were more girls than boys in the Grades 11 12 and 13 biology courses However females were grossly underrepresented in the Grade l physics and chemistry courses Of students who completed a Grade physics course per cent were male and per cent female For chemistry per cent were female and per cent male In general economics and urban studies tended to show a higher male enrolment whereas family studies law and man In society courses showed a higher female enrolment Languages were found to be a female domain since in all but one instance male parti clpatlon rates were exceeded by the female Of
