[Magdalen] Temps Perdue

[Marion Thompson]

No kindergarten for me in the early 1940’s in rural Quebec.  By the mid-1960’s it certainly existed, although I can only vouch for Montreal , and my kids each went in turn.

Actually, my little home village did not, in the 1940's, offer 
kindergarten.  My mother, for long segments of that period, 
was hospitalized for problems with what was then referred
to as "female trouble," that in her case seems to be a
prolapsed uterus with lots of related symptoms.  I was therefore
farmed out for much of that year to stay at my Godmother Gladys'
home in Superior, Wisconsin.  The grade school just nearby her
house was sponsored by what was then Superior State Normal
School (now UW-Superior), and, of course, they had the new-fangled
kindergarten.
