Excerpt from Uncle Sam Detective Of these two conceptions of detectives it may be said that the first is quite correct: that the graduate policeman is abroad in the land, lum bering along on the trail of its criminals and occasionally catching one of them. His assign ment to this task is, obviously, a bit like thrusting the Work of a fox upon a ponderous elephant. The police departments, however, are practically the only training schools for de tectives and it is but natural that they should be drawn upon. Of the second conception of the detective the man of science and deductions - it may be said merely that he does not exist in all the world, nor could exist. There is one case in a hundred which would require the man of sci ence in its solution and upon which he might work much as he does in fiction. In the ninety nine there would be no place for such talents as his. For each criminal case is a problem sepa rate unto itself, and there may not be brought to it more than a trained, logical, imaginative mind, which may unfold it and see all the possi bilities. There is but the occasional call upon science, and the good detective knows when to consult the specialist.
