PREFACE
This checklist includes all agencies and institutions,
private and
public, that offered any formal instruction in La Crosse
from its beginnings
through 1980. The core listing was
obtained from city directories,
then expanded from many supplementary sources and
interviews.
The listing is in five major sections:
I. Public schools.
II. Parochial schools.
III. Day care centers, nursery schools,
and special education schools.
IV. Music, dancing, etc. schools.
V. Miscellaneous (including business) schools.
There are 169 main entries. Within each section, schools
are
arranged alphabetically. The main listing for a school
is, in most cases,
that name which was most commonly used, most recently.
Cross-references
are provided for variant names. Coverage is limited to
those schools
which have, or had, a La Crosse mailing address.
It is inevitable that errors and omissions will occur in
a checklist
of this nature; the reader is cautioned against
using this document
as more than a checklist. Mrs. Nord uses the term
"speculative" in
several individual listings to emphasize this point.
Compilation of this checklist was begun in 1979 by Mrs.
Oertel,
whose long residence in this area made her contributions
especially
useful. A working draft was typed by student assistant
Kristine Aasen
in 1981. From that draft and considerable additional
research, Mrs.
Nord completed this final compilation in early 1983.
I am grateful to Mrs. Nord and Mrs. Oertel for their
hard work and
careful research. A checklist of this nature has long
been needed by
the staff of the Area Research Center, and it should be
similarly useful
to other individuals and agencies.
