HELP IN THE BOSTON ELECTION TOMORROW!

When in the course of local or state politics there has been a campaign to elect a peculiarly public-spirited citizen, or adopt a measure which would further the cause of good government, Harvard students have come forward pretty regularly and in good numbers to help. At the Boston city election tomorrow there will be a fight to keep the administration of the school system out of politics. It is only to repeat one of the first principles of good government to say that in the administration of public schools there can be no Democratic method or no Republican method. What is wanted, and all that is wanted, is efficiency, and it is therefore of prime importance that the two members elected to the School Committee tomorrow should be elected for their merit rather than their political connections.

Here lies an opportunity for another evidence of Harvard's interest in good and efficient government. Mr. E. E. Smith '02, a member of the Boston City Council, has asked for student help in the election tomorrow. He calls for forty men and he is coming to the Union this afternoon to map out their work. Those who volunteer will be excused from their College appointments tomorrow. Offering, as he does, this opportunity for an encounter with actual politics at close range, and for political service to the City of Boston, and in behalf of the wide-spread movement of good government, Mr. Smith should not fail to find ready hands and enthusiastic workers for his cause.
