You should write A History of Wizard Schools in the New World, 
Catlady.  And you are right about Nouveaubatons, it has very few 
students.  It was founded at a time when the French-speaking 
population of North America was a much higher percentage of the 
population than it is now (although of course very small in number), 
for the reason that the French speakers REFUSED to send their little 
witches and wizards to English-speaking schools.  Nowadays, there are 
many students from Haiti (where wizarding traditions have long been 
practiced somewhat openly), Martinique, and the other French-speaking 
islands of the Caribbean.

But I am curious.  Why do you say that very few magical Europeans 
emigrated to the New World?  I would have thought that they would be 
just as likely as anyone else to emigrate.

Oh, and I am just tickled pink at your nice comments about my wit.  I 
have received many comments in my life about my sense of humor, most 
of which have been considerably less favorable, so thanks very very 
much.  Also, I found a spell that works to make your relatives go 
away after Thanksgiving.  Just say to them:  Out of food!  It works 
like a charm (so to speak).
