were anent the past. the present and
the future of the st. Paul High school.
Regarding the past, he reminded his
audience of the old district high
schools, referred to the consolidation
and Capitalization of these into one
school, and briefly reviewed the rapid
advancement of the institution. He
spoke of the high grade of scholarship
attained by the pupils in the present

| Mr. Carman, "We must look into the
| dangers and the possibilities of the st.
| Paul High school. The greatest danger
that cOnfrontS us is the example of other
schools. Let us not follow in the path
of another, but go straight forward IL
our own course. The ST. Paul higi
school needs no models: it should be its
own model. The possibilities of the St
Paul high school are unbounded. 1t:
work should be extended in many direc
tions so as to afford its alumni and al
the citizens of st. Paul an opportunity
for further learning. 1t should be tht
