FOR POLICE PROPOSED
Commissioners Are Considering >Sus-
sestion Recently Made by
Mai. Sylvester.

The District Commissioners are con-
sidering the suggestion of Mai. Richard
Sylvester that the local police department
should have a school of instruction.
Recently the head OF the Metropolitan
police was quoted as saying:
1T Is important that the recruit 10
the police service not only should pos
sesI the high physical qualifications re-
quired by modern medical examining
boards and those incident to reasonable
mental tests, but should receive besides
these. through instruction in the laws and
ordinances he has to enforce.
There should be a school of instruc-
tion to embrace gymnastics, target prac-
tice. legal advice and other features.
While the District force has made some
progress along these lines, having at
tanned creditable honor in Red Cross
work. creditable standing in drill. re-
spectful treatment of citizens and
strangers. lack of proper authorization
for detailing of instructors for many pur-
poses has in a measure retarded these
features
