widespread activities of police training.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation
is proud to have led the way in this most
important phase of law-enforcement
progress. When, on July %, 1885, the
first police-training school opened in the
United States Department of Justice at
Washington with a class of twenty-six
picked officers from various parts of the
country, many law-enforcement bodies
were skeptical. Numerous old-time off,
GERS said, "Police work has come to
pretty pass when cops have to have
college-boy training" Others insisted
that There is more law in the end of
nightstick than in all the microscopes and
test tubes in the world" But, fortunately,
an equal number of experienced officers
realized the importance of this scientific.
training and lent their assistance.
For this was something new in law
enforcement. The United States De-
partment of Justice, through the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, had offered
to teach selected policemen and other
law-enforcement officers from various
communities everything that was taught
the Special Agents of the Bureau
how to use science in chasing crooks;
how to identify bloodstains; how to
make raids; how to shoot straight; how
to use the science of 6ngerprints; how to
gather evidence and present it in court:
how to combat the shyster lawyer, the
ambulance chaser, the crooked runner
for crooked attorneys, the professional
bondsman, the perurer. Everything
which G-Men know was to be impaired
to these candidates - in the same school
where G-Men we're taught. And the only
cost to pupils was transportation to
Washington and board and lodging
during the twelve-week course.
The results of that schooling have been

astounding - and much of the progress
has been due to the students them
selves, who have gone out as mission
aries of new day in law enforcement.
Recently the Bureau concluded its
sixth class in the F.B.I. National Police
Academy. Altogether 1877 officers from
all parts of America have been gradu-
ated, equipped to return to their COM
munities as we'll versed in the latest
methods of apprehension and detection
as are the G-Men themselves.
Back to town after town and county
after county, these men carried pio-
neering spirit of advancement - and
the scientific knowledge to solve cases
which otherwise might have been mys-
teries. Murders were unraveled and hit
and-run drivers were caught by the use
of scientific methods. New ideas were
advanced for the building of barriers
against crime.
As result, sentiment among officers
who had scofed at new methods rapidly
changed. Now only few scoffers remain
among those who once believed that
"college-boy" tactics were wrong. Many
of the old-time officers today are the
most enthusiastic supporters of newer
and more scientific methods.
Once the graduates demonstrated the
worth of their training and found
public opinion solidly behind them -
they were encouraged to start schools
for the teaching of other officers.
Today, less than three years after the
first school opened in Washington, 68,2 ,283
officers in law-enforcement bodies over
the country have an opportunity to
receive the same training given the G.
Men. Already, the intelligence require
ments of many police departments have
been raised appreciably. Several COM
munities are reaching out for college,
bred men and are trying to make the
pay sufficiently large to attract higher
types of officers. Throughout the coun-
try there is evidence that law enforce
ment is being viewed in a new light, that
citizens are beginning to see that it
should be placed on a merit-and-career
basis, inviting the highest type of men
into its ranks.
Practically every student who has
attended the classes of the National
Police Academy has received promo
ton or an increase in salary. Many
have been named chiefs or heads of de-

'Jezebel' Comes Back
For Second Week.
A S A piece of effrontery and show

A S A piece of effrontery and show
manship, the production of
"Jezebel" by Warner Bros. has few
peers in the modern history of films.
Purely as a dramatic effort, however,
the picture now enjoying its second
downtown week at the Metropolitan
Theater bellies the expectations Of
those who hoped here to find some
thing that would lay away forever the
ghost of Gone With the Wind"
"Jezebel" Is reasonably good slice
of romanticism cut from the legend
Of the Old South. More than that it
Is character study with q reverse
spin upon 1t, for Owen Davis in the
original play obviously intended to
show that the coy firtatiousness OF the
Southern belle was more than a So
cial fantasy. He regarded it as form
OF sadism, which IS the practice of
cruelty for ones own pleasure, but
without regard to personal gain. Into
this Illuminating character sketch are
injected the vitality and cunning
which have made Bette Davis one OF
the handful OF actresses who can
claim to be more interested in por-
traying people than clothes models,
individualities rather than types. Miss
Davis performance is not the best In
her career, but it transcends many OBJ
stacles thsf have not faced her IN

but failed to appear in court Sat
