(Shtr g’upmntimi ' ii ' ut, iflr. Paul (g. 1?. SCrllrr As the stalwart oaks tow r er above tlie surrounding forest, so do a few per¬ sons in each community loom above the rest, in promoting the civic, educational, and moral w r elfare of the community. One who has watched the growth and advancement of Waukegan during the last four years, realizes that a leading spirit in the accomplishments of things worth while, has been Superintendent Paul G. W. Keller. During the years of his apprenticeship in teaching and mastering the de¬ tails of school organization and administration, Mr. Keller, by careful reading and study along the lines of his profession, has gradually crystallized for him¬ self a working educational philosophy, which has vitalized all of his work. Be¬ lieving that education stands for the higher evolution of both the individual and the race, he has relegated to the proper place in the educational scheme many of the details of administration and instruction, and has not succumbed to the dull fruitless routine so deadening in administrative work. As an educational leader, not only has Mr. Keller received excellent train¬ ing and experience, but he has developed those personal qualities so indispen¬ sable in a leader. He is honest and square; he is possessed of a high sense of personal honor and endowed with a sense of proportion which enables him to see things in their proper relationships. By his large knowledge of the details and processes of school work, gained through years of apprenticeship, by the guiding educational philosophy which he has built up for himself, and with the personal qualities of educational states¬ manship, Mr. Keller has, during his stay in Waukegan, steered a straight course. With an intelligent understanding of the industrial work about him, with broad human sympathies, he has been able to get things done. One may say of Mr. Keller as has been said of another modern educator, he is “one who marks new trails, and has the courage and conviction of mind and heart necessary to main¬ tain his beliefs in new paths.” 1 he progressive educational programs so well started will need time for fruition, but eventually these constructive, forward looking policies will prove of inestimable value, and of far-reaching significance to the community.
