assistance of the educational commit.
Sss of the washington Real Estate
9oard. opened on Tuesday evening.
William L. Beale. OF the education
c0mmittee, presided at the opening
meeting and introduced Hon. J. Harry
Sovfngton. ex-Chief Justice OF the Su-
preme Court OF the District OF Co
lumbia fFs
lJohn.A. Petty. executive secretary of
tno Washington Real Estate Board,
Who has been appointed instructor OF
Sne course. briefly outlined the work
expected TO be accomplished and as
9stod the officials of the Y. M. c. A.
~ enrolling students. 1t was stated
that fifty students were enrolled at
this meeting, which indicates that the
class will be filled at the start. The
officials OF the Y. M. C. A. anticipate
that the enrolment will be limited,
owing to the unusual amount OF inter
sst being exhibited In this particular
course.
In commenting on the course. Judge
Covington complimented the Y. NJ. c.
A. for the splendid work II was doing
IN the matter of supplementary edu-
cation of young men. He laid stress on
the fact that all successful govern
nient will primarily depend on the edu-
cation OF those who participate in the
processes Of government.
Pleads for Homes.
In speaking of the subject Of real
estate, Judge Covington made a strong
Plea for individual home ownership as
the surest means of guarding against
cOmmunism. socialism and polite boil
ehevtsm. He pointed out that the own
ershtp of land creates in the individual
sentiments that make for the support
of organized government and also
showed that the dawn of civilization
appeared when property rights came
into existence.
He stressed that the really success
ful real estate broker intelligently
serves his client with absolute fair
ness and honesty. He further stated
that 1t was most fortunate to the
young men entering this course that
the fundamentals Of the real estate
business would be outlined to them by
prominent practical real estate men,
most OF whom were members of the
tocal real estate board, which organ
iyation was making a very serious ef
fort to spread the doctrine of good
will and cooperation among its men,
bers and in the furtherance of the es-
tAblishment Of standard ethical prac-
tice.
In outlining the opportunities of the
real estate business as a life work for
young men, Judge Covington stated
that II was a dignified business that
had gradually reached the plane of a
profession, and OF all of the professions
perhaps presents the most complex
problems for solution.

estate in Washington. he painted a

In the world. composed almost exclu-
sively of residences. In this respect
II differs from all of the great capitals
of the world. In that there is no ele-
ment of industry or manufacturing to
mar it's beauty. Washington Is also
quite different from any other city In
the country for the reason that depres-
sions do not affect II to the same ex-
tent as other cities. This is due large
ly to the fact that its population Is
made up in a large measure OF off
cials and employees of the Government,
whose income is fixed and thereby un-
affected by economic or industrial con-
ditions. This. together with the fact
that Washington Is growing In i'm
portance in world affairs, almost as
sures a steady advance In realty
values.
Announcement was made that the
first lecture OF the course would be
given Tuesday evening. November /.
at 1880 p. m. This lecture will be han.
died by Mr.. Petty, the instructor, and
his topic will be "The Analysis OF a
Real Estate Business" 1t is expected
that this lecture will be in the nature
of a skeleton outline of the real estate
business, which will serve as a basis
for the entire course.

Ruth, however, has voluntarily
worked out in the bull pen during

be that heflfeels and is in shape to

play and a beautifully executed for
ward pass-Stewart to tTharalson-
was responsible for the next score
in less than five minutes. IN the
second quarter the Minnesota team
quarterback on the East Grand
Forks team, played a wonderful de-
fensive game in this quarter. The
Grafton team work though ragged.in
spots due to this1being their first
game, gives promise OF being a won
derful combination by m~id-season.
Their work in all, departments wa
good. Geston at halfback did some
wonderful line pluneing and showed
that he will be6a hard man to stop.
