armed forces could be brought into
play.
The school opening was pre-
ceded by full inspection of
the entire Park Police Force by
Irving c. Root. new superintendent
of National Capital Parks. Mr..
Root gave the opening lecture
in the course, outlining the purposes
of the training program.
The 40 men, or approximately
half the force, will attend classes
from l to 3 pm. Mondays through
Fridays through April 3. Two spe-
cial courses in photography and
finger printing will be given at
night. The photography classes
will be from to pm. starting to-
night, on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays. Time of the fingerprintihg
classes will be announced later.
During the school the 40 policemen
will be divided into two sections,
attending on alternate days.
Throughout the course the police
men will be addressed by experts
from the staffs of the National Capt.
tai Parks office. the Federal Works
Agency. the F. B. I. and the Metro
politan Police Department.
The course will wind up with a
lecture on public relations and
