Volumes I, II, III, and IV list (by geographical region) the public schools. This is Volume V and covers nonpublic schools in the United States. It lists data for 97 percent of the known nonpublic schools in the Nation. The school names were obtained from the education agencies of each State and outlying area,State education directories, and lists of schools that came to our attention in other ways. The 1968-69 survey of elementary and secondary schools was conducted primarily to establish a current population frame for sampling schools. Nonpublic schools were included because they represent a significant sector of elementary-secondary education, and their inclusion in this overall effort offered an opportunity for obtaining current basic in- formation about these schools. Also, this publication in directory form answers the needs of many public and private research and planning agencies that require data for individual schools. It also enales the National Center for Educational Statistics to respond uniformly to numerous requests received for information about individual schools. For their cooperation and the completeness of the data reported, we are indebted to State, district, local public and parochial school superin- tendents, and nonpublic school principals in the States and areas represented. For their high sense of responsibility, untiring efforts, and attention to detail, we owe thanks to the statistical and clerical personnel of the National Center for Educational Statistics, particularly to Linda A. Barker, Lynn Fox, and Beatrice O. Mongello of this Branch. Carol J.

Ear- lier publications were narrower in scope and contained only partial information. For example, OE published 12 directories of public secondary schools between 1912-13 and 1958-59; usually these were limited to accredited institutions and sometimes included accredited nonpublic secondary schools. Also, OE issued two nonpublic school directories, for 1960-61 (secondary only) and 1965-66 (elementary and secondary). No attempt had ever been made before, however, to include the public elementary schools. To avoid the extreme bulkiness ofa single-volume list, the 114,000 schools in the 1968-69 survey arepresented in five parts--the public schools in four separate regionalvolumes and all the nonpublic schools in another. The regional groupings for the public schools are as follows: Volume I, North Atlantic Connecticut Maryland New Jersey Rhode Island Delaware Massachusetts New York Vermont Maine New Hampshire Pennsylvania District of Columbia Volume II, Great Lakes and Plains Illinois Kansas Missouri Ohio Indiana Michigan Nebraska South Dakota Iowa Minnesota North Dakota Wisconsin Volume III, Southeast Alabama Georgia Mississippi Tennessee Arkansas Kentucky North Carolina Virginia Florida Louisiana South Carolina West Virginia 1 Volume IV, West and Southwest and Outlying Areas Alaska Hawaii New Mexico Utah Arizona Idaho Oklahoma Washington California Montana Oregon Wyoming Colorado Nevada Texas Outlying areas of the United States and overseas schools for American dependents also appear in this volume. The volumes are being published as the processing of data is completed, their order depending largely upon the rate and adequacy ,of response from all of the States in each region. This publication, volume V, covers the nonpublic schools in the United States and outlying areas. Schools are arranged alphabetically by State, post office, and name of school, with identification of the religious affiliation, if any, and the name of the county in which they are located. Also shown are 1968-69 statistics on grade span, number of pupils, number of teachers, program offerings, and number of 1967-68 high school graduates (summary by State on page 10). About 97 percent of all known nonpublic schools in the United States and outlying areas are listed in this volume, regardless of their accreditation status. Collection of the Data Data were gathered by means of OE Form 2304, the same form used to obtain information for the public schools. The request for data on nonpublic schools was sent to each State or area educational agency. Of the 57 jurisdictions included in the survey, 30 States and 5 outlying areas provided the data on forms or punched cards derived from records available in the State or area central office, three States collected the data from nonpublic schools and sent them on to us, and 18 States and Puerto Rico
