vised that the efforts Of real estate
boards throughout the country be
devoted to the further development
OF elemental courses reserving for
later the development of the more
advanced work In real estate edu-
cation. q.
In describing a standard for an
elemental course to be used gener-

The discussion OF these four de-
partments should embrace q study
Of their primary functions and detail

cussion OF higher subjects should be

With regard to the building situa-

W. Straus. president OF 8. w.

Although the current season has
been by far the most important one
IN the annals of the building and

the country has spent. Its force.
There is. of course, some slowing
UP at this time due to weather con.

including Industrial and commercial
Wpes as well as apartment houses.
IT should be borne in mind that
tne tremendous amount of building

tnan $4,000. .000, 900. has been accom-.

At present the labor situation in
