Y.M.C.A.LECTURE
ON REAL ESTATE
Stresses Importance Of Truth
and Honest Dealing to
Achieve Success.

The special course In real estate
being conducted by the Y. M. c. A.
has reached the point where the act.
ual practice OF real estate is being de-
soribed to the class by the local real.
tors who have volunteered to assist
in the development OF this special edu.
cational work.
William II. Saunders. former presi.
dent OF the Washington Real Estate
Board. lectured to the class on the
subject OF ''The Management OF a
Real Estate Office" last Tuesday
night. Mr.. Saunders pointed out that
truthfulness and honesty were the
first essentials and necessary equip
ment OF any real estate office that ex-
poets to succeed. He stressed on the
point OF polite and courteous service
TO clients and the public and advised
the class to become familiar with the
fundamental principals of real estate
before embarlSing In individual ven.
lures.
According to Mr.. Saunders views
the manager Of a real estate business
should have personality, executive
ability and a thorough knowledge OF
the business. AS the success of a real
estate business depends almost entire
ly on the executive manager, who
usually is the proprietor, II Is neces-
sary for him to so arrange his organi-
zation that II will function in the most
efficient manner. He also discussed
the matter of correspondence. So
many features of the real estate bus.
mess must necessarily be handled
through the mail. the lecturer said
that while aubOrdina tes i'm "a real esta q
organization should be permitted to
handle correspondence in their par.
ticular work, the executive manager
should keep In close touch with all
that emanates in his
office.
The next lecture will be held on
Tuesday at 1880 p. m, at which time
J. f. M. Bowie. prominent in local
real estate circles, will discuss Man
sgement Of Apartment Houses and
and Dwellings"

CLUBORGAN|zED
INREALTY BOARD
FORCONVENT|OM
Assessments to Be Used as Fund
To Pay Expenses Of Cali
fornia Trip.

One OF the most active committees
OF the local real estate board is the
convention club committee, recently
organized. to bring TO the attention OF
real estate men the advantages gained
py attending the annual conventions
OF the national association. These con-
ventions. II is pointed out, have been
considered postgraduate course in
real estate. Men prominent In realty
circles from all sections OF the country
meet at these gatherings and discuss
the practical problems presented In
real estate work. In this way much
constructive work is done in the MAJ
ter OF standardizing the practice OF
real estate. In addition, the advantage
from business standpoint, of being
acquainted with men In the same line
OF endeavor In different parts of the
country is being recognized.
In order to present some concrete
and practical proposition to the mem
bers of the local board that would re-
suit In a much larger representation
from Washington, the committee de-
Vised unique plan OF financing the
expenses of the delegation. A definite
calculation of gross travelling expenses
was determined and the members of
this club have agreed to pay into a
common fund monthly installments so
that at convention time the total eS-
pense money will have been saved.
~Sese funds as received are being in
vested in first mortgage notes and the
interest return on the investment will
be used by the delegation to defray
extra expenses, such as badges, adve--
Using paraphernalia, etc, and the sur
plus will be returned to the members
In the shape OF a cash dividend.
The next convention, which is ex-
pected to be held in June, will as
semble In San Francisco. The finan-
cial arrangement made by this club
permits its members to make the trip
at a minimum of expense. BY reason
OF this club arrangement consider
axle saving is made over the ordinary
expenses of trip to California.
The committee in charge of this
matter met last Wednesday and ous-
lined a plan of action somewhat simi-
lar to a membership drive with the
hope that a delegation of at least one
hundred will represent Washington in
San Francisco. The plan Is that each
member of the committee will make
personal visits to every office con-
nected with the board and outline the
advantages and plans for attendance
at the next convention. 1t is also ex-
pected that the members of this com-
mittee will meet the statesmen at the
regular weekly meeting, usually held
in the larger offices, and in this way
II Is expected that in addition to the
brokers themselves, many statesmen
will be induced to join the club.
