REAL “Y" REAL ESTATE CLASS.INCREASES Enrollment on Opening Night Shows Largest Number Heretofore Listed. The opening of the Y. M. C. A. course in real estate last Monday night showed the largest enrollment of students that has heretofore regis- tered for the course. Sixty-six stu- dents registered on the opening night and a considerable number will prob- ably be added later. Several realtors and assoclate members are taking the course, but it is significant to note that the majorify of the students are from the general public. This fact indicates that the desire of the Réal Bsate Board to spread information and education in regard to real estate is having a beneficial reaction. The class was opened by Leonard W. De Gast, assoclate general secre- tar of the Y. M. C. James P. Schick, executiv of the Washington Real I secretary ate Board, and out s of the class. ‘The first lecture was given by Rog- er J. Whiteford, gen connsel of the ‘Washington Real took for his subject Buslness.” Mr. Whiteford tra tz ed the history and development of real estate from its inception. Reason for Ownership. The general reason for the owner. ship of real estate, the speaker de. clared, is b v the result of the trend of development of human so- clety. Tracing the situation in re- spect to rehl estate today as evolv- who introduced ! ESTATE.’ ing directly from conditions starting with the ideas and customs of no- madic tribes, Mr. Whiteford pointed out that when these wandering fam- {lies finally settled down on lands they felt desirable, ownership ‘became known because of occupancy, and occupancy was regarded as the indl- cation of ownership. Later it was felt that the heirs of the occupants of the property were naturally to be regarded also as the owners follow- ing the death of the leaders or rela- tives. Later, he pointed out, with the con- stant development of the human mind and customs the occupant was con- sidered to have title to the land, and still later the idea of occupancy was discarded and the theory of title own- ership of land brought about in vari- ous ways, including purchase. The speaker said that in view of the fact that all land is owned by some one and that it is used for a varied number of purposes, deals and transfers of property are necessary. The fancles of persons for properties in certain locations for certain uses and sale of property to raise money, etc., have all added to the vast busi- ness of dealing in real estate, said Mr. Whiteford, who pointed out that the service of the competent realtor should be of such a high standing that he would have a thorough and adequate knowledge of values and of the technicalities necessary to the conduct of the real estate business for the protection of his client and gen- eral public. The speaker said that real estate men should not occupy such a confl- dential and important position in the business world without a proper and thorough study and training of the business and incldents relative to the proper conduct of the business, and that those persons engaged in the realty profession should have at heart the full consideration of the public good. Stresses Need of Honesty. The necessity of honest, efficient and conscientlous men in this profes- slon was stressed by Mr. Whiteford, because, he said, in the majority of cases the largest single transaction New Homes of Exceptional Merit Built by B.

The lecturer urged that in order properly to serve clients in the com- munity real estate men should not only study the technicalities of their profession, but also closely follow and become interested in the affairs, the development and happenings of their city. This, he said, is necessary in order that they may be fully up to date on all regulations, changes pro- posed and prospective developments that would affect realty conditions in general. Mr. Whiteford pointed out, that real estate men were not only charged with the responsibility of transactions in the sale of real estate, but that they aiso had the added responsibility of investing large sums of the public’s money in real estate securities, and that, therefore, a thorough study of the angle is very necessary. The management of properties and estates also is intrusted to real estate men, according to the speaker, and, placed in the hands of competent men, re- sults in considerable saving in money and much more officiency in handling of various properties. The next lecture will be on Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. at 7:30 o’clock, and will be given by A. E. Landvoigt, who will speak on “Real Estate Office Organization.” oz Capt. Browning Reassigued.
