other side of the coin-we
want to say that it is also

teach young people to ap-

stimulate creativity and in-
dividuality. We believe that,
art can do this in a school."

aary Celebration we have
sought to use the unusual
resources available to St.
Albans, through its associa-
tion with the Cathedral and
the Nation's Capital, in ways
that will be useful not only
to St., Albans but'to educa-
tion in general."

Baltimore Museum Art,
