Explanation:
Ovaj glagol to repair je u ovom slucaju V. intr (Verb intransitive) i njega prati TO.
Znaci, glagol je 'to repair to', a ne to repair.

Source: Canadian Oxford Dictionary, Webster 3rd Intl.

repair = Intr. (followed by to): go, make one's way (repaired to the living room)
(archaic use) = resort (have repair to)A place of frequent resort [ Middle English from (Old) French repaire(r) from Late Latin repatriare REPATRIATE]

The wise and honest can repair to the standards which need to be raised (according to G. Washington who says Let's raise the standards)

Podignimo standarde kojima ce mudar i posten (castan...)moci okrenuti (pribjeci, koje ce moci odabrati, usvojiti, za koje se moze odluciti, po kojima ce moci postupati itd.)

U tom smislu.
