not To regard the education of detectives az
an obligation imposed by charity, but as
much q duty as ID the education OF normal
| children There was considerable oppose
tion from the institutions for the deaf and
| dumb the blind and the feeble-minded, to
exbibiting at Paris under the head of chari-
ties.
