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.

It also would authorize $3 million

Traffic Crash
Kills Four
SEATTLE ll'PI'-Kour persons
were killed early today in a two-
car crash north of here.
The victims were identified as
Carol Aon Williams, 21, Virginia
Gus, 28, Tony Chinuhut, 17 and
Wesley Wood, 27, caretaker at
Inglewood Country Club which is
located east of Lake Washington.
"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. Wicsner said research
needs ranged from basic research
on the nature of water to studies
in the social sciences with respect
