Thus the south is spending today its public
schools almost twice much the whole United
States spent in 1900. Almost every second city in
the south now has college university. There are
churches throughout the south than in any other

A CHANCE FOR PRESIDENTS

GIVE the President a Chance is the burden Of
article in Golfers The writer refers to the toofam
liar fact that the presidency exists today has be-
literally killing burden because of the unnec
essary accumulation of work and responsibility on the
shoulders of The President is both executive
with administrative duties multiplying all the time
and leader Of party, with broad legislative RESPONSE
bilities.
The question is how to divide that work without
weakening the authority of the head of the government
One OF various plans, commencing itself by its slmpl
city and common sense aims at four reforms:
First, il would establish closer connection and
reader cooperation with congress by giving cabinet
members seats and voice in congress- after the
OF other representative governments.
Second it would facilitate presidential criticism of
legislation by giving the executive authority to reject
seperae items of bill without vetong the entire BILL
thus hitting at the mischievous rider" practice.
Third it would apply plan, already worked ouc
and widely approved for recognizing the executive de-
partments to suit present day needs.
Fourth, it would provide permanent cabinet sec
retarat for the President such other important gov
ernments have, with additional organization Of high
ly paid expert advisors.
"AlI of this" remarks the writer, could be done
without touching the constitution. There is not
item Of the four which would be put into effect
overnight by any large business concern
Yet, because the largest business concern in the
world is subject to politics and the inertia that always
attends public affairs it may be many years before
arrive at ysuch busnesske solution for conserv-
ing presidents, eXpedtng public business and saving
public money.

Real Estate Practice Was
Subject of First Lecture by
John A. Petty

| The Home Ownership Course ar
ranged by the Y. NJ, c.. A. began
last Tuesday evening with a class
Of fifty, evenly divided between
men and woman. This enrolment
indicates a complete success for the
course which James A. Bell,
director of the Y. NJ. c. A. College
stated was not only an innovation
in Washington, but perhaps the
first course of this nature given
by any Y. M. C. A. school in the
country.
Real Estate, Practice. was the
subject of the first lecture delivered
by John A, Petty, executive Secre-
tary of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board and the lecture covered
in a very practical manner the
elements Of real estate dealing in
sofar as it pertains to the purchase
and ownership of home. Mr.
Petty stated that from several
years OF experience in investigating
and adjusting misunderstanding
disputes and other complications
arising out of real estate transac-
tions he had come to the con-
clusion that if persons contemplat-
were careful about two principal
things there would be little chance
of difficulties arising. These were
pointed out, first, the dealer and
second, the contract. Anyone con-
templating the purchase Of real
estate should satisfy himself that
the dealer or broker from whom he
expects to purchase real estate is
a reliable, responsible broker, COM
petent to handle real estate trans
actions.
|. This information can be obtained
by anyone by inquiring of the real
estate board, any bank or title COM
pany or indeed from any prominent
business man. With the assurance
that one is dealing with a RESPONSE
BILE broker of character and expert
ence the danger of evil resulting
from incompetence or dishonesty is
Immediately eliminated. The second
point emphasized by Mr.. Petty was
the contract which is commonly
used in effecting a sale and pur-
chase of real estate. This contract
should be very carefully drawn and
any experienced broker is capable
of properly preparing such con-
tract SO as to prevent misunder-
standings and litigation. 1t is in
cumbent, however, on the purchaser
before. signing such a contract to
be absolutely certain that the terms
OF the contract are explicitly stated
and thoroughly understood in adj
vance. This applies not only to the
