\1\Large increases are due to the addition of schools accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and
Colleges of Technology in 1980 and 1981. NOTE.--Because of a revision in data compilation procedures, figures for 1986 and later years are not directly comparable with data for earlier years.
