The whole new program of educa 4 tion in real estate method which the VnM/vno 1 A •c/u.intinn ftf TTcta Boards is opening in June, July and August through three of its institutes and divisions is built to deal with the dynamics of real estate, Walter W. Rase, Orlando, Fla., president of the association, points out in a discussion of the need for men of training and Judgment to meet the new condi tions of real estate demand, v "Education in business fields in cluding real estate has pretty much proceeded by recording and observing what has been the practice. Actual business, on the other hand, is always facing the future,” Mr. Rose points out. "The case-study courses in ap praisal. in real estate management and in real estate brokerage which will be offered by the association’s institutes and divisions in co-opera tion with the School of Business of * the University of Chicago have been organized in such detail toy the Insti tutes and divisions themselves as part of their official work that they meas urably extend the organized body of knowledge in these fields. They grow out of present real estate busi ness actualities and will face the future every step of the way.” Cited by Mr. Rose as calling for the best real estate experience and train ing that can be brought to bear upon it: New leasing situation for both business properties and residential properties; finding best use for re maining holdings of large institutions; requirement of new normal business for both appraisal thought and mort gage thought; new home building, w with its need of knowledge of all existing practical materials and methods.

About 100 builders have made applications to construct houses under the bonded plan, which insures the construc tion, the material, the design and the contract price. The bond of an indemnity house will be placed on 1 each house built under the plan. 25,000 EXPECTED Over 25,00 visitors from Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New j Jersey are expected to attend the Wilmington National Home Show to be held the week of June 1 to 6 at; Eighteenth and Market streets.

Y„ May 23.— Movability is the new note this sea son. Everything from the chaise longue to the tea table has rubber tired wheels. And as for chairs and settees, rocking is in vogue again. Those who have old-fashioned rock ers are bringing them out. Others are buying the new metal chairs with semi-circular supports that prevent backward tipping or those which al low one to sway luxuriously up and down. The always popular glider has smart new colored finishes and a smoother motion than ever. White is in the lead for porch and terrace furniture, with bright red blue and green crowding close on its heels. Weatherproof textiles in these popular colors—often plain—cover the unusually comfortable cushions of the latest chairs and settees Harmonizing with these bright hues are the new color schemes tor painted walls of sun porches. ; room is often a color problem. It j needn’t be, however, as many subur ban homes In the metropolitan dis trict prove. To unify the background, walls and trim are often painted the same color. Green is still a pupular choice, for it softens the glare of the ! sunlight. It Isn’t the heavy green : of the past, though, but a very light Spring green, or that yellowish green known as chartreuse—or a light olive green. It may be grayed with a little white paint and a dash of black—oi it may be light blue-green, especially if the sun porch is used mostly in the Summer. Other light colors, however, make a splendid background for the white or gay colored furniture in vogu< this season. Putty colored walls, witt trim a deeper shade, for instance—oi ivory, mixed with a little pink. If the sun room has been developed frore a porch, the house wall may be painted the same as the other three sides. Home Designs Selected by Magazine Editor as Outstanding. Indicative of the wide-spread inter est aroused by the Home Building Service Plan, a program sponsored by the Federal Home Loan Board to im prove the design and construction standards of the small home, Ethel B. Power, associate editor of House Beau tiful Magazine, recently selected six of the home designs offered under the plan as outstanding examples of what can be done to provide moderately priced houses, having an efficient plan, architecturally correct designs and ample living accommodations, and which may be built on monthly pay ments of from $35 to $70. The designs chosen by Mrs. Power were prepared by the Architects Small Home Service of Washington, D. C., and are available for inspection by in terested home builders at the Perpet ual Building Association. This concern Introduced the plan locally some weeks ago in co-operation with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Explained in Detail. The service was explained In detail and the architectural drawings were exhibited by Philip E. Schreier, prom inent local architect and one of the prime movers in the Architects Small Home Service, at the recent conven tion of the American Institute of Ar chitects at Williamsburg, Va. Mr. Schreier told of the plan's practicability as demonstrated by the large number of Washingtonians who are taking ad vantage of Its protective features. It was pointed out that, whereas the average Individual was not equipped to cope with the complexities of get i ting full value for his building dollar, I seemingly unsoluable problems such as ! the mo6t advantageous placement of the house In the lot, specifying the right kind and quality of materials, Kjuipment and fixtures, the securing of bids and awarding of contracts, the obtaining of permits and clearance of waivers or liens are every-day occur rence with the seasoned building tech nician. Sought Institute’s Aid. It was this situation which moved the Federal Home Loan Bank Board to enlist the co-operation of the American Institute of Architects and Its member lending institutions to make available to the public the essen tials of a complete architectural ad visory and construction supervisory service in the form of the Home Build ing Service Plan, at a cost so low its use becomes a justified necessity even for the most modest home. The value of the plan from the view point of the lqpding institution and its shareholders is manifest when it be comes evident that the long-term loans required are secured by soundly con structed homes of good architectural design thus giving both the lender and the borrower extra security for their Investment. The Perpetual Building Association through which the Home Building Service is available, is among the larg est and oldest thrift and home financ ing institutions in the United States.
