THE VELTIN SCHOOL
FOR GIRLS . NEW YORK CITY, N. Y.
The Veltin School was founded by Mademoiselle Veltin in 1886. It is a day school for girls. The faculty is composed of eminently success- ful teachers who make a special study of the needs of each pupil and have the ability to-apply the proper incentives for the highest attainment. The number of pupils is limited to twelve in each class.
Primary, College Preparatory and General Courses.
Students are admitted at any age and are prepared for admission to Bryn Mawr, Vassar, Barnard, Wellesley and other colleges. The General Course gives opportunity for a wide range of electives, adapted to the ability and taste of the individual. Many lectures are given during the year by university specialists. Sight reading in music and a'complete system of physical training are features of the School. Self-government is successfully applied in Ingher classes.
The School occupies a modern fireproof building erected especially for its use, and located at 160-162 W. 74th Street, and connecting with and including 165 W. 73d Street. It is well lighted, ventilated by fans, heated by steam, and has assembly hall, study rooms, class and recitation rooms, laboratory, studio, and gymnasium with ventilated locker for each student. Senior HIall, connected with the main building by a wide corri- dor, is devoted to the use of the Senior Department, and has a large refer- ence library and complete appliances for illustrating the various subjects.
The Art Department of The Veltin School is conducted as an inde- pendent feature and has attained a wide reputation on account of the ex- cellent facilities presented, and the unusual ability of its instructors.
This Department is located in the same building as the Veltin School, occupying an entire floor of the building, arranged especially for art study. The aim is to awaken the mind of the student to the beauty in nature and art, to stimulate the creative faculty and to train the eye, hand and memory. A complete course has been established in drawing from life, composition, anatomy, painting and sketching; also in wood sculpture and modeling. Students in the Art Department come from all parts of the United States.

WHO'S WHO IN PENNSYLVANIA
A BIOGRAPIIICAL DICTIONARY OF CONTEMPORARIES EDITED BY JOHN W. LEONARD.
The new (Second) Edition of Who's Who in Pennsylvania, issued four years after the publication of the First, is a com- plete and up-to-date presentation of personal statistics of those living citizens of the Commonwealth who bear the most active and influential part in the progress and development of the State.
'It has been edited with the greatest care and its records are authentic, and the volume is an authoritative reference book of current biography of those citizens of the State who are now at the front of its activities and whose achievements are matters of current interest. The statesmen and jurists, capitalists, railway officials, leaders in commerce and man- factures, lawyers, physicians, the higher clergy, the leaders in the colleges and universities of the State, scientists, jour- nalists, artists, authors, engineers, and others who represent the publie, industrial, intellectual and social interests of Penn- sylvania are included, in dne proportion, in this volume.
As a reference book the publication will be found of con- stant use to those interested in the Commonwealth and its eitizens, whether resident within the State or elsewhere, and it will form a valued addition to the list of most frequently consulted authorities in libraries, public or private.
The appended addresses form a most valuable addition to the volume as a work of reference.
The book is neatly bound in green cloth, and contains 600 pages, and the price is Five Dollars.

THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BY H. C. GAUSS
The author of this book, H. C. Gauss, Esq., is a trained journalist at present occupying the responsible position of Private Secretary to Attorney General Bonaparte.
The book not only gives a list of all offices of sufficient importance to be filled by Presidential appointment and subject to confirmation by the Senate, but a complete statement of the powers and duties pertaining to each office and the salary attached thereto. How many Americans are there who could tell precisely what the powers and responsibilities of the United States District Attorney or the Collector of the Port are, and the extent of power vested in the hands of Bank Examiners and the Comptroller of the Currency, and to what work of reference could they turn for full information upon these subjects ?
.
This book contains information upon points of law, procedure and custom not known to many of even the best informed citizens. Not many know that the terms of the Postmaster General and the Comptroller of the Currency extend a month beyond the term of the President who appointed them, and that the Post- master General, unlike other Cabinet officers, ean be removed by the President only with the consent of the Senate. Few know that United States Senators and Representatives have a right to select, subject to the passing of examinations, cadets in the Naval Academy, but have no such right with reference to the Military Academy, for which their selections are merely advisory, the President having the sole power of appointment. These and many hundreds of other facts as little familiar are brought out-in this useful volume.
What American traveling abroad or contemplating going abroad but would gladly know the duties and powers of the American Ambassador and Mini-ter, the Consul General and the American Consul; what their duties are not only to the Government they represent, but to American citizens who visit the countries to which they are aceredited as well. Not long since a famous New Yorker lo-t a suit in the United States Cirenit Court involving more than $100.000. Hle desired to appeal it to the Supreme Court of the United States, but was a-tounded at being told by his lawyers that they were not sure that he could appeal it, and to his astonishment the Supreme Court refused to hear the ease. Now this book tells just what eases can be heard in United States Courts and the juris- diction of each court; and also covers all points likely to come up about the Government and its officials in all their relations at home and abroad.
THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is a volume of nine hundred pages, bound in half morocco, and the price is $5. It is a book of reference for American citizens and for foreigners who desire full and authentic information as to the organization of the United States Government.

THE WORLD'S LEADING REVIEW'S
" With all achievements in maga- zine literature we have literally no rival of the great English Reviews. The scholar of human life and thought is obliged to turn to them for thorough discussion of great political and social questions. We cannot get on without them if we care to be in sympathy with our age."- The New Unity.
"We advise any of our readers who desire to broaden their minds by their reading to take one or more of the leading English reviews."- En- gincering News.
" The tables of contents pre-eat what the French would eall a tempt- ing ragout, from which no delicacy belonging to the season is omitted. The topics treated are timely, and the list of contributors is both di-tin- guished and authoritative."- The Examiner.
" These leading English Revier's contain more articles by more noted
writers on any important subjeet than any other series. No reader who hopes to keep in touch with the best thought of the day on all cur- rent questions of importance ean af- ford to ignore them."- The Philadel- phia Press.
" It is a most valuable aid to con- temporary literature in America that all these great English Reviews are made easily accessible by their re- issue on this side by the Leonard Scott Publication Co."- Chicago In- ter-Oecan.
" The writers are always able, and show great breadth in their treat- ment of a variety of subjects. The constant reading of these periodicals let- one out into a larger world, and gives breadth and vigor to the under- standing. They are cosmopolitan in their view and grasp."- Zion's Her- ald.

PREFACE.
The Fourth Biennial Edition of WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK CITY AND STATE is here presented with confidence that it will meet with a welcome even more wide and generous than that accorded to its predecessor of 1907. The processes of addition and elimination have both been invoked to give to the present volume a more thoroughly representative character. As a work of reference for biographical statistics of a single State it is unique in its comprehensive completeness. While it is possible to criti- cise any compilation of the kind on the ground that certain individuals are included or excluded, it is believed that this book is less open to criticism of this kind than any other of its class. In inclusiveness it goes far beyond any other publication, so far as New Yorkers are con- cerned, containing about 300 per cent. more sketches of living citizens and residents of the Empire State than any other.
The book is in this edition an entirely new one, only a small per- centage of the sketches from the previous edition appearing without change or addition. Great care has been exerted to make the sketches accurate and dependable. The information in almost every instance has been procured at first hands, and by submission of proofs for correction, errors have been, to the largest possible extent, avoided.
WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK CITY AND STATE Has become recognized as one of the mo-t requisite items in reference and home libraries. It presents the life stories, in condensed form, of the thousands of citizens of the State who are now at the front of its activities, and whose achieve- ments are matters of current interest. The statesmen and jurists, the financiers, capitalists and captains of industry, the leaders in commerce and manufactures, the lawyers, physicians and clergymen, the philoso- phers and philanthropists, the scientists, educators and intellectual lead- ers, the journalists, authors and litteratours, the artists and architects. the engineers and inventors, in brief, those people who in every branch of worthy activity are in the best sense representative, both in City and State, are here in due proportion.

PREFACE
Omissions there are, of course. There are some from whom or about whom no data could be procured ; and perhaps some have been overlooked. It may be stated with confidence, however, that few, if any, glaring omis- sions will be found. Some may have been included who would better have been omitted. Such cases, among many thousands of subjects. are unavoidable, but, looked at in bulk, it is safe to assert that the book is open to little criticism as to its subjects.
It is essentially a reference book, compiled upon honest lines. No one has been included or excluded merely on the ground of willingness or unwillingness to purchase the book. It is the only complete reference book of current biography of the people of New York City and State. As a book occupying that field without a serious competitor, it has fully arrived. It is used by libraries, by writers, by newspapers, and by busi- ness offices in all the ways in which such a publication can be utilized. Its data form the daily source of biographical reference in the press and home and abroad. It is constantly quoted in the editoria's of the leading newspapers, and for all purposes, from casual reference to complete biography or obituary, its resources are constantly drawn upon.
In the home circle it is a valuable auxiliary to conversation or to study. It puts the individual en rapport with the antecedents and careers of the notables of the State, and to all, from the most intellectual to the everyday man and woman of business or leisure, it is a source of useful information which is not to be found elsewhere.
A large advance subscription and an active daily demand assure the success of this edition. The next one, to be issued two years hence, will deal with equal or greater completeness with the New Yorkers of that date. Readers who can and will suggest names omitted which should be included will confer a favor on the publishers by sending such names with the appropriate addresses.
A few biographies received too late for insertion in the proper alpha- betical place, will be found in the Addenda at the end of the volume.
