WITS SHARPENED
 AT POLICE SCHOOL
Cealss Of Stady hiae 0st Bst
 in P,tldna

If the policemen of New Britain are not sufficiently posted on the duties of their positions and cap- able of filling them credttably, 1t will not be the fault of the board Of police commissioners. whose plan for school for the bluecoats is in operation under direct charge of Detective Sergeant William P. Me- Cue. Several years ago. there were civil service requirements fer ap. pointment to the police department and promotion from the supernum- crary to regular ranks. and on through the higher offices. but for the past few years there was no premium on study and consequently many instances occurred to empha- size the lack of preparation fer their work on the part of members of the department l
 Under the tuteiage of Sergeant AIcCue. the policemen are learning the fine points of the art of pro- tecting life and property and enforc- ing the laws of the city. state and nation. They arc being coached in the manner of patr olling their beats, and of carrying and conducting themselves while go doing. also in the correct way of making arrests ;.nd of subpoenaing. witnesses. with attention also to the method of conducting investigations into oc- currences requiring police inquiry. They are learning something of tho misdeneanors and crimes and their comparative seriousness, and they arc being taught that familiar ity with court procedure adds much to the worth of policeman. Step bv step, they are being taken through the maze Of the multitudi- nous requirements for qualifications ;.s first claas policemen. In the opin. ion of Chief W. c. Hart and the commissioners. the ultimate results should fully justify the time and effort that is being put forth in the conduct of the school.
 Men Closely Observed
 Early in the course, Sergeant McCue obtained samples of the pen- manship of the men. and since then he has given written examinations in addition to lectures. He is going about the task in systematic man. nar, his intent being to go through the simple rudiments first and then observe the difference in the quali- ficationa of the various men as the more complicated phases of the course are reached. He knew at the outset. as did the commissioners and the chief, that among the policemen there were some to whom the lec- lures and examinations would be as meat and drink. while others would find themselves hard pressed to keep pacel For this reason, it will he necessary to vary the in-

 Q. How old is Tom Mix?

Three keys are held by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Treasurer of the Unit cd States and the Comptroller of Currency, to as many patented locks which secure the lid of the machine. This trio. or their representatives. in company with a fourth representa- tive of the peorle and the banks. personally unlock the macerators and place in them the condemned currency and securities. After this ceremony the lids are locked, water poured in the macerators and 1S0 knives set in motion which reduce the worn bills to ] pulp.

A murder, an automobile acci- dent, . burglary. . street fight.

The matter of making reports of incidents occur ring on the various beats. in . man. ner that will acquaint the officers of the department with conditions, is another phase of police work with which the school will deal, and the manner of preparing cases for presentation to court is also listed.
 Sessions have been held bi-month- ly. the night men reporting in the afternoon. and the day men in the evening. Members of the supernum- erary force have been in session on Sunday. The sergeants do not attend the school. but are expected to con- fer with Sergeant McCue relative to the duties of their positions.
