OUR
Educational Service Bureau
HOW IT CAN HELP OUR READERS, and HOW IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER SCHOOL BUREAUS
T HE average reader of Who's Who in New York has neither time nor patience to wade through a mass of school catalogues in order to find the school that is best adapted to his needs.
Ordinarily, when a parent applies to a school information bureau for a school, he is swamped with applications in print, in typewritten form, and in person, made by many schools that could not possibly interest him. .
This is because school bureaus are generally conducted by people who are not trained and experienced educators. Their policy is to give the names of inquirers to many schools, in the hope that some one will be found suitable, and that that school will credit the bureau with the securing for it of one enrollment.
Right here our bureau draws a very close line.
NOT OVER THREE SCHOOLS are brought to the attention of one inquirer; when the inquiry is made sufficiently definite, only one.
Suggestions regarding schools are made by our bureau only after a very definite correspondence, conducted by our Educational Director, Mr. A. von W. Leslie, lately Head Master of the Blake School, in New York. Mr. Leslie has had eighteen years' experience as an educator of both boys and girls. His work, particularly that done in con- nection with the Blake Summer Schools, brought him into somewhat intimate rela- tionship with a great many of the leading schools in the East.
The object of the correspondence referred to above is to secure from the parent data which will eliminate from the field of his choice all schools that would not inter- est him, and to find the one that would do so most largely.
We wish to know the parent's limitations as to rates, location of school, type of school, and what may be the individual needs of the pupil.
The advertisements of a number of schools and teachers will be found scattered through the pages of this book. Most of these schools have been personally visited by Mr. Leslie and he is acquainted with those who conduct them. It is hard to write the advertisement of a school so as to give any true idea of its standards, its ideals and its atmosphere. These are matters which a trained educator can get hold of more readily than the average parent.
We therefore suggest that our readers give careful scrutiny to our educational directory, and correspond with a few of those institutions the advertisements of which interest them. If this seems to entail too much loss of time or annoyance, put your problems squarely, frankly and fully up to us, so that we can help you out. Our service is absolutely free of charge.

WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK
PREFACE
T HE Sixth Biennial Edition of Who's Who in New York City and State is here- with presented with confidence that it will meet with a welcome even more wide and general than that accorded to its predecessor in 1911. The lapse of one year in the issuance of this publication was caused by the unfortunate death of its late editor, Mr. Louis R. Hamersly.
The processes of addition and elimination have both been invoked to give the pres- ' ent volume a more thoroughly representative character. As a work of reference to biographical statistics of a single State, it is unique in its comprehensive completeness. It not alone treats with men of importance who live in the State of New York, but also those from other States who, by commercial or social affiliation, are closely con- nected with the metropolis.
While it is possible to criticise any compilation of this kind on the ground that certain individuals are included or excluded, we have taken great pains to make this volume less open to such criticism. Great care has been exerted to obtain accurate and dependable information, and in almost every instance it has been procured at first hand, and by submission of proofs for correction errors have been as largely as possible avoided. The exacting standard by which we have heretofore been governed in the selection and acceptance of names has been maintained, and we feel that this volume has an added value, not alone on account of its handsomer binding and more legible print, but for its thoroughness in covering the field.
Who's Who in New York is recognized as one of the most requisite units in reference and home libraries. The condensed form of the salient items of the thou- sands of prominent citizens of the State, who are at the front of its activities, makes it an invaluable book of reference for the banker, the newspaper, the club, the hotel and the merchant all over the world. Omissions there are, of course. There are some from whoin or about whoni no data could be procured after persistent effort, and perhaps some have been overlooked. In some instances we may have included those who would better have been omitted, but such cases amongst the many thousands of subjects are tinavoidable, and looked at in bulk, it is safe to assert that the book is open to little criticism as to its subjects. We would ask our subscribers in case the omission of names is noticeable that such names be sent to us for future inclusion. It is the desire of the editorial staff to make this book complete, and suggestions will be very gladly re- ceived and acted upon.
The purpose of the book is essentially for reference, compiled upon honest lines. No one has been included or excluded on the ground of willingness or unwillingness to purchase the book. It is used in libraries, by writers, by newspapers and by mer- chants and bankers in all the ways which such a publication can be utilized. Its data form the daily source of biographical reference in the press, both at home and abroad, and it is constantly quoted in the editorials of the leading newspapers, and for casual reference to complete biographies and obituaries its resources are constantly drawn upon. In the home circle it is a valuable auxiliary to conversation and to . study. It puts the individual in intimate touch with the antecedents and career of the notables of the State, from the mnost intellectual to the successful man or woman in business or leisure, and it has a source of useful information not to found elsewhere.
Its presence in foreign consular offices, foreign hotels, clubs, transatlantic ex- press steamships makes this volume more or less international in character where it is used as a means of identification and reference.
In the advertising section' we have listed a number of prominent houses which stand foremost in their lines, and inthe school section we would call particular attention to our school bureau, the purpose of which is to assist the parent in a proper selection of a school without any charge or cost to him whatever.
We have endeavored to compile the histories and activities of statesmen and jur- ists, financiers, capitalists, leaders in commerce and manufacture, professional men, philosophers, philanthropists, scientists, educators, journalists, litterateurs, architects, engineers and inventors-in brief, the class of people about whom information is de- sired, and who are representative in every branch of worthy activity in the State.
