believed almost certain that nothing

TINE work of getting on the force"
in European countries is a more
difficult matter than 1t Is in our
land and does not go, as sometimes
here, on the strength of political pull
Also the foreign policeman has to go to
school to learn his duties.
In France and Russia, for instance,
academies for the higher training OF
police have been established, with the
result that the detective force secures
many excellent men from the rank and
file.
Prospects and Pay.
The first stage toward the making OF
a policeman in England is to teach him
a little drill, after which he is taught
how to patrol his beat. A small blue
book Of duty hints in tabloid form is
given to him to study, while he is spe-
cially coached In his responsibilities re-
garding the power of arrest and the
limitation of his powers.
The recruit must devote at least four
weeks to this instruction. Then he is
taught something of the practical side
of a policeman's life by being sent to
police court for a few hours in the
morning to study the rules of evidence
and how to give it, or he may be sent
IN a notice station to remain in the
charge room in order to hear the
charges brought in and to learn what
is required of him.
Again. he may be handed over to al
experienced constable to be conducted
around the beat and so learn the rou-
tine duties. In the evening he may be
sent to continuation classes for general
education: and, lastly, he learns ambu-
lance work and the best way Of render
ing first aid in case of accident or Ill
ness.
His nav as an ordinary constable IS
from 81 TO SO a week. When he at
tains the rank Of sergeant his pay
ranges from S11 to $14. while. should he
become an inspector, he will be paid
from $3.50 to $275O. A superintend-
emf II might be mentioned, receives
81, 700 to S2,25O q year.
In France the ordinary Paris police
man begins his career with salary oil
$3.50 and rises to $3.50 year, plus about
S45 per annum for what is known as
lodging indemnity"
The st. Petersburg policeman high
est nav is $25 a month. while the Berlin
notice receive from $500 to $500 year
and an allowance of $50 for quarters.

may be said to be the most arduous of
any, for in addition to the lessons in
the police school, he is instructed in the
most up-to-date methods of dealing
with criminals.
One of the methods of instruction is
like that used by enthusiastic American
footballers practicing A heavy sand
bag on a rope is set swinging, and the
policeman has to run to meet it as it
swings toward him and stop it dead
This is practice in dealing with the
rush OF a crowd. He is also instructed
in a hundred and one different matters
which make it necessary for him to al
ways have his wits about him, for it
must be understood that he has a null
titude of duties when compared with
the police of other countries.
AS one visitor to Berlin put It, THE
police have a nose in almost every
thing When you go to Berlin you are
reported to the police, and no stranger
can get in or out of the country, and no
visitor can come or go without leaving

also of very minute character and
the finished article, according to the
French standard, is not turned out I'M
der seven or eight months.
Not only does he have to study the
general routine of his duties, but he
is invited by his superiors to write re-
ports of imaginary accidents, as a COL
lapse of a scaffolding, collisions be-
tween vehicles, persons being arrested
or injured and of fires and the like:
and to enable him to be technically
-lating to the construction Of scaffold-
ing, in the mechanism of motors ami
motor trans and so on.
He is taught to neglect no details In
his reports, and his account of an ac-
cident or fight, for instance, will be
punctuated with encircled numbers.
each number representing an infrac-
ton OF some particular law, and every
law broken is given in detail at the
end of the report.
A Complicated System.
The Russian police system is ex-
tremely complicated, for it practically
gives Russia an assistant policeman in
every house in St. Petersburg.
The landlord has private porter or
acts as a porter himself. A porter has
authority to make an arrest, and he is
obliged to rush from the house to the
street at the sound of a police whistle.
AS there is policeman stationed at
