The congregations of the St.Paul-Minneapolis area are to be
-coramended for: their interest..and enthusiasm ‘in promoting Chris-
‘tian education as indicated by their plan for the establishment of
_a Lutheran high school on the campus of Concordia College.

Parish Education and the Board for Higher Education toward the
establishment of a Christian high school; .
- bp, to analyze further the financial requirements;
c. to perfect the necessary supporting organization;
d. to give careful study to the possibility of establishing and
- locating an independént high school in the St. Paul-Minneapolis
area.
