Burns, head of the United States Government's detective forces, who plans vast betterment of the personnel. Schools in Washington and New York Formed by Department of Justice to Improve Efficiency of Government Sleuths Special Correspondence. " Washington. D.' C. Saturday. "School for Detectives" at which THE : humorists supplement are of poking fun, kas become a ' sober reality, and at least that part of the " population of the United States which la criminally inclined is likely to change' its opinion of such institutions in short order. according to William J. Burns, detective par excellence arid director of the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice. Two Federal training schools for operatives of the Department of Justice have already been established, one at New York find the other at Chicago, and it Is likely that a third will be located in the near future at Fan Francisco. Other school s probably will follow as the need for them develops. In these institutions Federal detectives arc given a thorough courso of training in the principles of ' their work. Experts of : proved knowledge and experience are their instructors. Courses are given in certain phases of law, in criminal psychology, and in evidence, and study is made of practically every branch of criminal endeavor. The great criminal cases of the past are studied, in much the same way as the cadets at West Point study the great battles of history, and the student detectives are required to takeihe roles of the various principals. Hypo". thetical cases are also taken up, the students sometimes playing the part of criminal and ac other times that of the relentless sleuth, . 1 i . i i - " vi . ' ,' , bring into play as the means of preventing the potential criminal from becoming an actual violator of the laws of the land. To this end he. Is striving to make the Department of Justice Bureau of Investigation so in its ramifications efficient, so and operations that it will put not the fear of God, perhaps, but so to speak, the fear o!

One of the first steps in this process of Increasing the efficfency of the Department of Justice was taken by Mr. Burns when .he began weeding out the, "dead wood" In his organization., Burrs has no objection to fat detectives:. provHed they arc fat and not above the necktie.
