MEM YORK COPS BEGIN
STUDY OF LAW At
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

NEW YORK, Feb 2s.-~Members
of the New York police department
today began to study law at Column
bia University. Commissioner Woods
made a special arrangement with the
Columbia Law School whereby the
entire course will cost each police
man only SIC. with IS additional for
books.
The course will last for sixteen
weeks. with one two-hour period
each week. Some law has hereto
fore been taught at the police train
ing school. but the idea of an adj
yaneed course came from the police
men themselves. The law course
will not be required by the depart
ment II Nj be entirely ooional
with the man himself and must be
n,,rsued in house when he is Off
duty.
The courses are given with the
idea OF training the policeman III the
law as il is applied to his own par
ticular duties so he may have bet
ter understanding of his job.

"Oh" exclaimed David, relieved.
How absurd Of him to suppose that in

TUlnette added no further word Of

In the open spaces and around the gray

by the sun and his blue eyes were
yelled in anxious thought. He had
pursued another man over sea and
through forest wilderness with the in
tention of killing that man If he should
overtake him.
Now, the young mans intention was
blunted. Months before it had seemed
the one right and just thing that this
other man should die at his hands.
This other man had caused the legal
murder OF the youths father. But to
take justice into ones own hands, even
on such proYocation as this, is an act
unspeakably dreadful; and weeks Of
meditation had succeeded only in
painting it as thing more despica5Ie.
In the fragrant breath of the viz

shouted aloud for JOY Of victory over
death. Life rose by pressing her tri-
umphant feet on the prone shoulders
of her weaker brother, Death. FOr the
struggle between Life and Death IS
actual and Life lives by killing. God
himself ordained the killing and pro
nounced it part Of his eternal justice.
But the ag0nizing man who thought
