REALTY CLASS
CONCLUDES

The annual Y. M. c. A. school in
real estate has now ended. Last
Monday, in pursuance with the regu.
lar curriculum. examinations and
tests were held in order that the stu.
dents in the class might qualify for
certificates awarded annually.
The Y. NJ. G. A. real estate school
has been unusually popular in Wash
ington, where the Washington Real
Estate Board was a pioneer in start
ing the educational movement Which
has grown now to include State uni
versities and other institutions Of
high learning.
The board will unquestionably
continue this work on an enlarged
scale next year, as they feel the ad-
vantages offered to members OF the
real estate profession. particularly
the younger members, enable
them to become competent and eff.
cient In their profession. They are
thus better able to look after their
interests and the interests of the citi-
zens and afford the public an oppor-
tunity for a knowledge of the basic
principals OF the realty profession.
1t is also valuable asset to the per.
son contemplating investment in real
estate securities or real estate prop
erty, and to the home owner who is
investing in home which he hopes
will increase in value.

This is the view of Kenneth r.
Duncan, secretary of the Harmon
National Real Estate Corporation.
who points out that even such
social changes as a trend toward
"Companionate Marriage" with the
resultant division of family in.
terests, may have an important
effect on real estate demands.
Much of this revolution can be
expressed in the form of statistics.
In 1870, there were onIy 289
plumbers, gas and steam filters to
serve each million of the American
population, said Mr.. Duncan.
To-day there are about 1000 such
workers per million-an increase of
almost 500 per cent. In other
words. better standards of living
have brought tremendous expansion

Masons On Decline
Another change in housing
habits Is compressed in the fact
that the number of brick and
stone masons has declined over 40
per cent in this period, in proper
NAoh ~ ZIG pOpuidIIOH. AT the
same time the proportion OF iron
and steel workers has increased by
$50 per cent.
"The great recent increase IN the
national appreciation of beauty in
architecture Is reflected in an in.
crease of 230 per cent in the num-
Der OF architects per million of
population.
Statistics Of this nature only
reflect important changes after they
have already occurred. But there
seems small doubt that we are still
in the midst of a social revolution
which must profoundly affect all
economic values.
The average family, for instance,
Is admittedly growing smaller. To.
day well-planned small house will
often bring a larger price than an
old fashioned mansion which no
one wants. The old family of IL or
Is already has declined to a stats
teal average of five, and in New
York the actual average is much
smaller. But even more important
than this recognized change is the
