Creation in numbers of American #chools of business of real estate cur- riculums, consisting of part or all of a standard two-year course in real estate education, and establishment in leading universities and colleges of real estate courses looking to a B. A. degree, has come about during the past year as a result of a growing appreciation of the possibilities of technical preparation for a business involving relationship with large flelds of econgmics and law. Evolution for nation-wide use of standard courses covermng the whole subject area of real estate has been the outgrowth of two recent national conferences on real estate education between representatives of schools and universities and of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Columbla University, which already 18 offering many of the courses in- cluded in the suggested real estato curriculums, has expressed, through | Dean James C.

SEVENTH IN LIST OF BUILDING ACTIVITY Washington Contributes $48,623,- 605 to Nation’s Total of $5,500,- 000,000 Construction Bill. ‘Total building operations through- out the United States in 1938 were approximately $5,500,000,000, making it the greatest bullding year in the history of the country. These activi exceeded the previous record- breaking year of 1922 by something less than 25 per cent, according to reports from bullding departments made yesterday to the national monthly bullding survey of 8. W. Straus & Co, That these tremendous operations will be continued during the winter was Indicated by the reports received Jby 8. W. Straus & Co., showing a gain of 11 per cent for December, as compared with the same month a year ago. The twenty-five leading citles, rep- resenting a population of 30 per cent of the whole country, absorbed 50 per cent of the nation's bullding activi- ties during the year, thus Indicating that in vast sections of the country outside the larger cities the bullding shortage is not being made up.” Comparable reports from 208 lead- Ing cities and towns showed a gain for the year of 23 per cent.
