Thursday, February 31, lflfi.3 Small Schools Accredited, Too Congress Asked To Support Water Research There is no direct relationship between the size of secondary schools and recognized aVademie status. Or. Knelt Hummel, professor of education at Portland Slate College, told the annual meeting of the American Educational ile search Association in Chicago this week that studies of 675 high schools in the Northwest revealed that 33 per cent of the accredited schools have enrollments of less than 200 students. "The evidence indicates that academic recognition of second ary schools in the Pacific North west cannot be equated with school enrollment," he said. In Oregon there arc 219 scennd irv schools and IBS are accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher .Schools, he said. A total nf B8 accredited Oregon secondary schools have enrollments of 3IH) students less and have a faculty of from five to 17. Dr. Hummel poinled out that the findings ran contrary to popu lar thinking. A large number of small schools are able to secure academic standardization and accreditation. f-.' ...

He noted that only in Nevada is the largest en there was a "need to enlist and increase combined efforts of sci entists, engineers, economists and other scholars for research and graduate education in the several disciplines underlying water re sources."

"Water resource development, en compassing all sectors of society, presently involves an expenditure of about $10 billion every year. and the rate is rapidly increasing." But too small a fraction of this yearly investment is devoted to research.
