5. Support for educaUonal research, surveys, and demonstrations under title IV 



of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 {Public Law 89-10) 

 Thus far, one project has been funded (in fiscal year 1966 for $7,000) at the 

 Valhalla Union Free School District No. 5, New York. This project entitled "A 

 Formal Course in Oceanography at the Secondary School through Independent 

 Study" will seek to determine the extent to which secondary school students 

 can pursue independent study in oceanography when provided with course 

 materials and advisors. Oceanography was selected for the project, among other 

 reasons, because of widening interest and its absence from the secondary school 

 curriculum. 



6. Financial assistance in acquiring special equipment under title VI-A of the 



Higher Education Act of 1965 {Public Law 89-329) 

 This program asssists institutions of higher education in acquiring laboratory 

 and other special equipment. In 1967 one project providing significant support 

 for undergraduate instruction in oceanography was funded in the amount of 

 $31,974 to Millersville State College, Pennsylvania. The award paid one-half 

 the cost of acquisition of a catamaran and two mobile laboratory trailers, one 

 for use primarily for geological oceanography and the other for use for biological 

 and chemical oceanography, 



7. Consultation 



Staff of the OflSce of Education have written articles for education journals 

 and provided consultative services to various State and local organizations and 

 oflScials, including the Massachusetts Commissioner of Education in connection 

 with the 1966 New England Conference on Ocean Science Education in Elemen-

Mr. Lennoist. We had a very interesting colloquy yesterday with the 

 witnesses from the National Science Foundation. We were quite sur- 

 prised and pleased, although we have no documentation of it, to hear
