WILSON POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Appointed by Governor Cox to Succeed
Late T.. c. Curtis in Boston.

BOSTON. April Herbert A. Will
son, building commissioner of Boston
for the last four years last. evening was
sworn in as police commissioner Of Bos-
ton, succeeding the late Edwin L. Cur
it's ,rN .-zs.5-~t 80 -n
The nomination was..scnt to the exec
utive council by GOvernorlCOx after the
public hearing on the banking situation
had concluded, and Wilson was immedi-
ately confirmed under suspension of the
rules.
His selection by Governor Cox is not
the result of any political trade. but
was influenced by the record which VIII
son has made As building commissioner
and the long friendship between the two
men. Wilson was one Of Cox's lieutcn-
ants while the governor was speaker of
the house.
Although Wilson supported John X.
Murphy in the mayoraIty campaign, he
was not removed when Mayor Curlcy
took Office and his resignation had not
been requested. 1t is understood that
Curley was satisfied with the commits
sioncr's work and urged him to stay on

Students Should Fit for College.

Students Should Fit Tor college,
A high school course should do two
things. 1t should give the student a last
ing foundation upon which the success of
his future life will largely depend, and it
should at the same time fit him for col
lege although he has no intention of fur
thering his education upon graduating
from high school.
We strongly believe that a course full
filling these terms should be put into
effect because many high school students
of today are absolutely wasting their four
years by taking a long list of one-yeaI
subjects which are nearly valueless as fan
as a thorough education is concerned. AT
the end of the four years they have
little of everything and not enough OF
anything to be of any value to them
The courses should be so supervised that
every high school graduate should possess
a fair knowledge of the essential subjects
upon which the success of his future
work will largely depend and also enough
subjects so that if in the seuior or junior
year he should make up his mind to g
to college, his first two or three years
would not have been wasted but would
have gained him the points and subjects
required to continue through college.
1t is a very common occurrence to find
a pupil entering high school with no in
tention of going to college and taking
only the easy subjects which will give
him enough points to graduate; then, il
the third or fourth year make up his
mind to go to college and find himseI
without the knowledge of the required
subjects. ~
OF course it is not expected of young
boy or girl entering high school to have
a definite knowledge of what. he intend.
to do after leaving. but if the courses
could be so arranged as to fit him fol
college even if he did not at first intend
to go, it would be a highly benefitting
change for the pupil even though it die
not meet entire approval at first.
