for many years. It is recognised as one of the
most attractive as well as one of the most valu-
able sets of books now available for the use of
children in th home.

The wonderful new edition of The Book pf Knowl-

and much expanded—there are new departments,
more of the striking pictures that teach, and an In-
dex Volume with Courses of Study as used in the
schools. Here is a dependable reference work which
the whole family uses and enjoys. But it is far more
than a reference work—it is the children’s priceless

“Th time has arrived when the mem-
ber* of this board should begin an in-
tensive study of the different phases

boause the realisation has dawned upon
the American public that men of any
one calling have matters in common more
important than any Individual causes of
jealous rivalry. This recognition has
developed the feeling of a natural fel-
lowship in which there ere no secrets
end the exchange of information and
research is free and open to all. This
fellowship has led to an organised body
of knowledge by assembling the results
of experience and research and has be-
gun to pass these finding* on not only
to those who belong to that fellowship,
but to those who are thinking of en-
tering the same.
“The further necessity of assistance
from the educational world has de-
veloped the demand made by American
business upon our colleges and univer-
sities and they hove responded to th*
pressure by founding schools of busi-
ness where before they were devoted
purely to the academic in education. This
act as applied to courses in real es-
state is proof in itself that the realtors
of the Nation have the natural desire
to keep in step with other trades snd
businoesos and it also proves that they
have at last recognized in the com-
modity which they ore handling, the
elements which justify a profesisonal
attitude. -
Sickness end health, justice between
friend end enemy, marriage end death,
inheritance and the adjudication of
wealth-- these things are no more vital
than the home in which the child i*
reered, the invironinent in which the
child is educated, the place of business in
which his living is to be earned or the
form on which his food Is to be raised.
Therefore the daily concern of the real-
tor is bringing the consciousness that
- his responsibility as a professional man
of business is as concerned with the
vital issues in the life of man as that
of the doctor and the lawyer. In fact

is undergoing a change and facing a
time of crisis which promises to be
one of the most far reaching of our
life time. It is chenging its method
and technique with far reaching effects
2n our economic standards of living.
This change has to do with the mar-
keting end consumption of our product
end not the production. There is no

vailed that prairie lend woo drouthy and

tions of lend traded for a horse blanket
and workers gathering the crops were
paid in corn, which they in turn traded
for the necessities of life.
The appearance of railroads brought
about the customary reyolution in eco-
nomie end social development. As a
greater number of homeseekers and land
buyers appeared, the reel estate agent
became more in prominence. The reel
estate business formed in a crysillis
stage soon to emerge end be bantered
around like a shuttlecock by butcher
and baker end candlestock maker. Tkis
condition naturally left the individual
buyer on his own responsibility.
The dawn of the Twentieth century
saw the first autos creeping over our
roads with belabored breath and uncer
tain gait. The modern flying machine
was yet a dream. The fast gaited horse
and snappy rubber-tired rig was the
pride of every city, village and form. The
sun arose each day and set each night
upon pretty much the same order of
daily routine. The realtor was unheard
of. The reel estate agent, as such, was
generally regarded as a shark by those
who knew him snd the real estate busi-
ness was considered something that a
oetry, its idealism, its science, its life of service.
