Mr. Zahradnicek, superin
tendent of Palmer schools, re
turned recently from a trip to
Salt Lake City, Utah, where
he attended a meeting of the
Northwest Association of Sec

The Association reviews and
examines reports from schools
and either accredits the school
or warns it to improve its stan
dards. Palmer, which has been
a fully accredited member since
1937, was approved without
comment. Twenty-two schools
from Alaska belong to the As
sociation and Kenai has been
admitted on a provisional basis.
Mr. Zahradnicek is on the
committee which sets the re
quirements for schools already
accredited.
