school more than a year ago to a
police officer of the Washington
force-Lieut. H. G. Callahan, former
head of the local police training
school. The experiment convinced
Hoover of the feasibility and desira-
bility of a central school tending to
serve as a clearing house on crime
detection and criminal apprehension.
Hoover says he expects the school to
be mutually beneficial to police and to
agents of the bureau. Both will have
an opportunity to learn Of the prob
lens of the other, and this should
result in better understanding and
more effective coordination of action.

thing from psychiatry to road
blocking. from DECIDING of cryptic
grams to developing latent finger
prints, from analydng blood and
other stains to restoring identiflca-

Will Fire at Quantico.
In addition to studying the theory
of ballistics in the class room, the
trainees will be taken to Quantico and
given actual practice on the range
with all types of guns. They will fire
from running automobiles at moving
targets, test their craftsmanship with
tracer bullets at night, simulate raids
