OUR 


Ctmcattonal  g>ertuce  Bureau 

HOW  IT  CAN  HEP  OUR  READERS,  ana 
HOW  IT  DIFFERS  FROMOTHER  SCHOOL  BUREAUS 


THE  average  reader  of  Who's  Wo  in  New  York  has  neither  time  nor  patience 
to  wade  through  a  mass  of  sclol  catalogues  in  order  to  find  the  school  that 
is  best  adapted  to  his  needs. 
Ordinarily,  when  a  paren  applies  to  a  school  information  bureau  for  a 
school,  he  is  swamped  with  ajlications  in  print,  in  typewritten  form,  and  in 
person,  made  by  many  schools  that  couhnot  possibly  interest  him. 

This  is  because  school  bureaus  arejenerally  conducted  by  people  who  are  not 
trained  and  experienced  educators.  Tlir  policy  is  to  give  the  names  of  inquirers 
to  many  schools,  in  the  hope  that  someone  will  be  found  suitable,  and  that  that  school 
will  credit  the  bureau  with  the  securinjfor  it  of  one  enrollment. 

Right  here  our  bureau  draws  a  vei  close  line. 

NOT  OVER  THREE  SCHOOLS  re  brought  to  the  attention  of  one  inquirer; 
when  the  inquiry.is:  made,  sufficiently  (Snite,  only  one. 

Suggestions  regarding,  schools  "firenade  by  our  bureau  only  after  a  very  definite 
correspondence,  conducted  .hy  .out. .  Ediational  Director,  Mr.  A.  von  W.  Leslie,  lately 
Head  Master  of  the  BJaKe^  School,"  "in  Nv  York.  Mr.  Leslie  has  had  eighteen  years' 
experience  as  an  edueatpr  q£'b.6!tft*b,oys  ai  girls.  His  work,  particularly  that  done  in  con- 
nection with  the  Bla^e/SAmf/isr  -School  brought  him  into  somewhat  intimate  rela- 
tionship with  a  great  many  *o'f  rh'e"ieaGg  schools  in  the  East. 

The  object  of  the  correspondence  ferred  to  above  is  to  secure  from  the  parent 
data  which  will  eliminate  from  the  fiel  of  his  choice  all  schools  that  would  not  inter- 
est him,  and  to  find  the  one  that  would  >  so  most  largely. 

We  wish  to  know  the  parent's  lirmtions  as  to  rates,  location  of  school,  type  of 
school,  and  what  may  be  the  individual  ^eds  of  the  pupil. 

The  advertisements  of  a  number  oschools  and  teachers  will  be  found  scattered 
through  the  pages  of  this  book.  Most  ohese  schools  have  been  personally  visited  by 
Mr.  Leslie  and  he  is  acquainted  with  the  who  conduct  them.  It  is  hard  to  write  the 
advertisement  of  a  school  so  as  to  give  y  true  idea  of  its  standards,  its  ideals  and  its 
atmosphere.  These  are  matters  which  trained  educator  can  get  hold  of  more  readily 
than  the  average  parent. 

We  therefore  suggest  +'.  iur  reacs  give  careful  scrutiny  to  our  educational 
directory,  and  correspond  v  of  ose  institutions  the  advertisements  of  which 

interest  them.  If  this  see/'-.-  to  entail  tooiuch  loss  of  time  or  annoyance,  put  your 
problems  squarely,  fran'.iy  and  'any  upo  us,  so  that  we  can  help  you  out.  Our 
service  is  absolutely  fr<  e  of  charge.

WHO'S  WHO  IN   NEW  YORK 


PREFACE 


THE  Sixth  Biennial  Edition  of  Who's  Who  in   New  York  City   and  State  is  here- 
with presented  with  eonlidence  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  Y'ork  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,  i he -club,  tfa'e  hotel  and  the 
merchant  all  over  the  world.  Omissions  there  'ave,-  of,  <.\(vurs'e.  There %  are  some  from 
whom  or  about  whom  no  data  could  be  procure'd 'after  persistent  effort,  and  perhaps 
some  have  been  overlooked.  In  some  instances  we  m&y  have  included  those  who  would 
better  have  been  omitted,  but  such  cases  amongst  the; "many",  thousands  of  subjects  are 
unavoidable,  and  looked  at  in  bulk,  it  is  safe  to  assert  that  the  bcok  is  open  to  little 
criticism  as  to  its  subjects.  We  would  ask  our  subscribers' rn'ca'setfhd  omission  of  names 
is  noticeable  that  such  names  be  sent  to  us  for  futuue.  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  most  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  in  the  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.

Explained  in   Catalogue  of 

The  BARNARD 
SCHOOL  for  BOYS 


Formerly  of  Washington  Heights,  now  overlooking  Van  Cortlandt  Park  Playground.  Four  min- 
utes' walk  from  West  242d  Street  Broadway  Subway  Station.  Also  accessible  by  N.  Y.  Central  or 
Trolley  from  Bronx,  Yonkers  and  Mt.  Vernon.  The  building  just  completed,  perfectly  appointed, 
open  to  sun  and  air  on  all  sides. 

With  its  semi-rural  surroundings  and  its  proximity  to  the  playgrounds  of  that  section,  its  plan  is: 

To  take  the  boy  off  the  street  after  school  hours,  also  Saturdays,  by 
giving  him  a  playground  in  the  open,  and  by  exercising  a  wise  and  sym- 
pathetic  supervision   over  all  his  time,  both  of  study  and  of  play; 

Then  to  send  him  home  in  time  for  the  evening  meal,  where  home  in- 
fluence   can   supplement    easily   and   naturally  the  work  of  the  school;- 

To  furnish  at  midday  a  wholesome  hot  dinner,  prepared  by  an  effi- 
cient cook  and  supervised  by  a  dietitian; 

To  provide  an  afternoon  study  hour  when  lessons  can  be  prepared  for 
the  next  day. 

The  arrangement  is  such  that  the  boys  will  go  to  and  from  school  in  the  opposite  direction  from 
the  crowds,  the  younger  boys  going  in  the  company  of  a  teacher.

BOARDING  SCHOOLS— BOYS 


Moses  Brown  School 

Providence,  R.  I. 

SETH  K.  GIFFORD,  Ph.D.,  Principal 

FOUNDED   1784 

A  school  where  thorough  work  is  done,  which  offers  a  modern  equipment  and  the 
very  best  facilities,  and  from  which  20  students  enter  college  yearly. 

A  heavy  endowment  makes  possible  a  low  tuition  rate,  while  scholarship  funds 
enable  us  to  provide  for  a  few  boys  of  unusual  merit  whose  means  are  limited. 

The  Principal  gives  his  personal  care  to  seeing  that  every  boy  does  his  best  all 
the  time. 

THE  LOWER  SCHOOL  DEPARTMENT 

for  boys  of  8  years  and  upward  is  entirely  separate  from  the  Upper  School. 

Very  particular  care  is  taken  of  these  boys  in  their  home  life  and  sports,  as  well  as 
in  their  school  work. 

TUITION,  $500  PER  YEAR.

DAY  AND   BOARDING 

For  earnestness  of  purpose,  thorough 
work  and  the  character  of  its  pupils,  is 
attracting  the  attention  of  thoughtful 
parents,  who  wish  their  sons  to  accom- 
plish something  definite  in  life,  and  do  it 
in  a  manly  way.  The  same  careful  train- 
ing is  given  to  all  boys.  Specialty,  prep- 
aration for  the  Massachusetts  Institute  of 
Technology. 

The  close  contact  with  earnest  men 
develops  self-reliance  and  confidence  in 
the  pupil. 

THE  AIM  OF  THE  SCHOOL 

IS  not  how  many  pupils  it  can  get, 
but  how  well  it  can  do  its  work  of 
developing  MEN.

LOCATION — Holderness,  N.  H.,  one  hundred  twenty-five  miles  from  Boston,  among  the  foot- 
hills of  the  White  Mountains;  in  the  lake  region  of  New  Hampshire;  six  hundred  feet  above 
sea  level;  in  the  most  healthful  and  picturesque  part  of  New  England. 

EQUIPMENT — The  main  building,  the  chapel  and  the  new  gymnasium  represent  the  best  types 
of  academic  and  ecclesiastical  architecture.  In  addition  to  the  boys'  rooms  and  alcoves, 
there  are  in  the  main  building  an  infirmary,  a  common-room,  an  assembly-room,  a  library  and 
reading-room,    the    dining-room,    and   the   masters'  apartments. 

The  school  house  is  a  separate  building  and  contains   a   study-hall  and   five   recitation   rooms. 

The  athletic  field  has  a  cinder  running  track,  tennis  courts,  a  football  gridiron  and  a  baseball  field, 
with  bleachers. 

OBJECT — To  prepare  boys  for  college  and  scientific  schools — especially  for  Trinity  College  and 
the  Massachusetts  Institute  of  Technology;  to  develop  the  whole  nature — body,  mind,  and 
spirit;   to  inspire  and   promote   manly,   Christian  character. 

ADMINISTRATION — Three  courses  of  instruction  cover  five  years  and  are  administered  by  men 
of  experience  and  culture.  A  physical  director  supervises  all  out-door  sports  and  the  gymna- 
sium practice.  Mutual  confidence  between  the  boys,  the  rector  and  the  masters  exists  and 
is  always  encouraged,  and  individual  attention  is  given  to  boys  who  need  it.

(Baker)  George;  ed.  in  common  sch.;  m.  N.  Y.  City.

Miller,  b.  1S9S,  Esther  Armington,  b.  1904,  Edith  Van 
Etten,  b.  June  7,  1908.  Went  to  N.  Y.  City  in  1880; 
later  became  verv  much  interested  in  work  for  boys 
and  girls;  in  1890  took  a  group  of  children  to  Free- 
ville  for  the  summer,  and  for  five  years  thereafter 
different  groups  were  taken  each  summer  for  an  out- 
ing. In  studying  children,  and  the  work  being  done 
for  them,  came  to  the  conclusion  the  giving  the  chil- 
dren everything  they  needed,  free,  tended  to  increase 
pauperism  among  them.  While  thinking  over  a  rem- 
edy for  this  conceived  the  idea  of  starting  a  junior 
republic,  modeled  after  the  U.  S.  Gov't,  and  in  1895  put 
his  ideas  into  operation.  The  plan  worked  so  well  and 
created  so  much  interest  that  it  was  at  once  incor- 
porated and  placed  on  a  permanent  basis.  The  sum- 
mer feature  was  abandoned  and  a  permanent  inst'n 
established,  which  Is  widely  known  as  the  George 
Junior  Republic;  now  devoting  entire  time  to  estab- 
lishments of  the  Junior  Republic  System.  Founder  of 
the  Junior  Municipality,  which  extends  a  measure  of

MOHEGAN  LAKE  SCHOOL 

MOHEGAN  LAKE    :   WESTCHESTER  COUNTY   :   NEW  YORK 


ESTABLISHED  IN  1880  to  prepare  young  men  for 
college  and  for  business  life,  Mohegan  Lake  School 
has  won  its  high  position  by  a  persistent  adherence 
to  its  ideals.  It  enjoys  the  approval  of  its  patrons 
and  the  love  of  its  students  and  its  alumni. 

CAREFUL  SELECTION  OF  STUDENTS  is  a  pri- 
mary factor  in  (he  success  of  the  school.  No  boy  is 
received  without  satisfactory  evidence  that  he  is 
worthy  of  a  place  in  a  refined  home. 

SCHOLARSHIP  is  secured  by  the  scholastic  and  peda- 
gogic ability  of  the  instructors,  and  also  by  their  per- 
sonal character  and  their  sympathy  with  boy  life. 
The  aim  is  to  develop  manliness  and  maturity  of 
thought  and  character  by  giving  attention  to  the  indi- 
vidual needs  of  the  students. 

THE  SCHOOL  has  a  military  organization,  to 
secure  in  the  students  a  good  physical  development 
and  an  erect,  soldierly  carriage.  Military  work  and 
routine  promote  habits,  promptness,  system  and 
obedience. 


THE  LOCATION  of  the  Mohegan  is  in  the  beautiful, 
healthful  highland  country  of  Westchester  County, 
with  picturesque  and  historic  surroundings.  Mohegan 
Lake  is  a  beautiful  sheet  of  water,  nearly  500  feet 
above  the  Hudson  River.  The  school  is  forty-five 
miles  from  New  York  City. 

THE  COURSES  OF  STUDY  prepare  boys  for  all 
colleges,  universities  and  scientific  schools,  or  for 
business  life.  There  is  a  four-year  Senior  course 
and  a  three-year  Junior  course  to  prepare  students 
for  the  Senior  course. 

THE  HOME  LIFE  is  cordial  and  refined.  It  is  under 
Christian  though  unsectanan  influences. 

ATHLETICS  receive  intelligent  application  at  this 
school.  The  lake  gives  opportunity  for  swimming, 
rowing  and  hockey,  and  a  large  athletic  field  is  util- 
ized for  baseball,  football,  military  drills,  parades. 
etc.  Outdoor  sports  and  exercises  in  the  pure  air  of 
the  country,  under  safe  and  skilled  supervision,  are 
important  features  of  the  school  life.

in-chief  N.  Y.  Mercantile  Journal  and  sub-publica- 
tions, 1863-1878;  began  printing  following  apothegm 
at  the  head  of  his  several  journals  in  1865  as  "The 
■Science  of  Money  Briefly  Set  Forth";  "In  the  inter- 
changeability  (at  the  option  of  the  holder)  of  Na- 
tional Paper  Money  with  Government  bonds  bearing 
a  fixed  rate  of  interest  there  is  a  subtile  principle  that 
will  regulate  the  movements  of  Finance  and  Com- 
merce as  accurately  as  the  motion  of  the  steam  engine 
is  regulated  by  its  'governor.'  Such  Paper  Monev 
Tokens  will  be  much  nearer  perfect  measures  of  value 
than  gold  or  silver  ever  have  been  or  ever  can  be. 
The  use  of  gold  or  other  merchandise  as  money  is  a 
barbarism  unworthy  of  the  age. — Wallace  P.  Groom." 
Later  added  two  notable  apothegms  in  re  the  Currency 
as  follows:  "To  be  true  money  it  must  be  inter- 
changeable at  holder's  option  with  government  bonds 
bearing  equitable  usury — i.  e.,  interest.  Such  money 
will  surely  yield  much  greater  benefits  than  have  re- 
sulted from  any  humanly-devised  instrumentality 
since  the  early  dawn  of  the  Christian  Era. — Wallace  P. 
Groom."  "Grass  will  cease  to  grow  and  water  cease 
to  now  ere  sound,  honest,  justice-promoting  money 
can  be  coined  (i.  e.  fabricated)  on  any  basis  other  than 
its  mterchangeability  at  holder's  option  with  govern- 
ment bonds  bearing  equitable  usury — i  e.  interest  — 
Wallace  P.  Groom."  Sec.  Nat.  Convs.  (promoting  im-

emphasis  upon  character-building  which

THIS  school,  which  has  a  large  day  de- 
partment, can  accommodate  twelve 
resident  pupils.  The  training  is  such 
as  is  given  to  English  girls  of  good  birth 
and  breeding,  and  Miss  Faulkner's  chief 
aim  in  the  education  of  her  resident  pupils 
is  to  teach  them  the  importance  of  a  well 
rounded  development  and  to  give  them  a 
deep  sense  of  a  woman's  responsibilities. 
They  are  trained  to  see  the  necessity  for 
efficiency,  unselfishness  and  poise;  to  un- 
derstand what  constitutes  a  successful 
home-maker  and  to  have  a  right  sense  of 
values.  Miss  Faulkner  prefers  to  receive 
pupils  at  as  early  an  age  as  possible,  and 
expects  each  one  to  fit  herself  for  a 
definite  career,  preferably  that  of  home- 
maker. 

FEES  :   For  girls  under  twelve  years,  $  1 200  : 

for  girls  of  twelve  to  fifteen,  $1500  per  year.

for  some  years  in  preparing  gen.  plans  for  the  con- 
struction of  a  tunnel  and  post  road  under  the  Nar- 
rows, which  will  permit  of  the  passage  of  railroad 
trains,  automobiles,  horses,  carriages  and  foot  pas- 
sengers under  the  Narrows  between  the  Boroughs  of 
Brooklyn  and  Richmond,  S.  I.;  stockholder  in  M.  E.

counsel  for  the  Bankers'  Title  Guarantee  Co.  Or- 
ganized and  is  pres.  of  the  N.  J.  and  Staten  Island 
Junction  Terminal  Co.,  incorporated  for  $10,000,000, 
which  is  organized  to  construct  a  tunnel  from  the 
terminus  of  all  the  railroads  which  now  reach  only 
the  eastern  shore  of  N.  J„  including  the  Baltimore  & 
Ohio,  Lackawanna,  Erie,  Jersey  Central.  Lehigh  Val- 
ley, West  Shore,  Pa.,  and  the  Philadelphia  &  Read- 
ing, nine  trunk  lines  in  all,  the  traffic  of  which  will 
be  carried  to  Brooklyn  through  a  large  tunnel,  which 
will.be  constructed  oil' land,  of  steel,  in  sections.  After 
the  bottom  of  the  bay  is  dredged  out,  making  a 
ditch,  the  tunnel  will  be  sunk  and  the  sections 
bolted  together  at  the  bottom  of  the  bay.  The  steel 
tunnel  will  be  of  two  large  tubes,  enclosed  in  a  large 
steel  case  and  filled  with  concrete.  Its  construction 
will  require  336,000,000  tons  of  steel,  and  it  will  have 
310,000  cubic  yards  of  displacement,  130,000  cubic 
vards  of  concrete;  a  weight  per  lineal  foot  of  513.000 
lbs.,  and  8  lbs.  per  foot,  allowed  to  overcome  the 
buoyancy  of  the  tunnel,  which  will  be  made  like  a 
steel  boat  with  bulkheads  in  the  end  to  allow  it  to 
be  towed  to  its  place  in  the  bay,  and  then  sunk  by 
adding  the  concrete.  The  total  cost  will  be  $10,- 
000  000,  and  the  cost  of  the  land  for  landing  tunnel 
$3  000,000.  Has  been  engaged  for  past  three  years  in 
promoting  and  establishing  the  Ellis  Adding  Type-

BOARDING  SCHOOLS— GIRLS  383 


Springside  School  '%Egff& 

Principals,  MRS.   CHAPMAN  and  MISS   JONES 

COATED  in  one  of  the  most  beautiful  suburbs  of  Philadelphia, 
424  feet  above  sea  level. 

The  school  has  a  small  resident  department  and  a  large 
day  department.  Resident  pupils,  therefore,  have  the  advantage, 
in  their  home  life,  of  individual  attention  from  the  teachers;  and 
in  their  class  work,  of  the  stimulus  afforded  by  competition.  The 
school,  which  was  founded  in  1879,  has  always  done  thorough 
work  in  both  its  college  preparatory  and  regular  courses.  The 
house  was  specially  built  for  school  purposes,  and  is  well  equipped, 
comfortable  and  sanitary.  The  school  grounds  afford  ample  fa- 
cilities for  outdoor  sports.    . 


Lakewood  School  for  Girls 

A  SCHOOL  in  which  girls  can  live  near  to  nature,  enjoy  many 
healthful  sports,  study  and  recite — all  in  the  open  air,  the 
year  around. 
A  small  school,  where  girls  get  abundant  individual  attention. 
During  1913  to  1914  we  had  one  resident  teacher  for  every  two 
resident  pupils. 

Our  patrons  will  gladly  testify  that  we  have  "made  good" 
with  girls  whom  we  have  fitted  for  the  positions  they  now  occupy 
in  some  of  the  highest  social  circles  in  the  country. 

Send  for  a  list  of  parents  with  whom  you  can  talk  about  our

is  wonderfully  refreshing.  She  is  a  skilled  musician 
and  has  made  her  well-trained  voice  serve  to  the 
advantage  of  charities  in  which  she  is  interested. 
She  is  one  of  those  rare  women  who  can  be  beau- 
tiful and  youthful  and  wealthy,  and  still  work  hard 
for  those  who  are  beneath  the  wheel  of  Fortune. 
Through  her  indefatigable  efforts  she  has  helped 
secure  the  passage  of  several  philanthropic  laws, 
such  as  Mercantile  bill,  new  Tombs,  Public  Sch.  bill,

Choosing  a  School 


In  selecting  a  school  for  your 

What  is  the  MORAL  tone  of  the 
school;  what  is  its  influence,  its 
ideals,  its  traditions ;  does  its  whole 
aim,  influence  and  teaching  make 
for  strong,  high-minded  character? 

What  is  the  SCHOLARSHIP 
standard;  is  it  thorough,  is  it  practi- 
cal ;  does  it  fundamentally  teach  the 
pupil  to  think  for  herself? 

THE  BARNARD  SCHOOL  FOR 
GIRLS  has  been  studying  this  ques- 
tion of  school  efficiency  for  eighteen 
years,  and  in  its  solution  we  have 
found  the  constant  factor  is  the 
teacher.

daughter,  you  would  like  to  know : 
Therefore  we  have  chosen  our 
teachers  most  carefully,  not  only  as 
to  scholarship  and  training,  but  as 
to  character  and  refinement.  We 
know  our  teachers  intimately,  not 
only  in  the  school,  but  in  their 
home    life. 

A  school  is  judged  by  its  results. 
Therefore  we  beg  to  refer  you  to  the 
mothers,  whose  daughters  are  now, 
or  have  been,  in  the  school ;  to  the 
colleges  which  our  girls  have  en- 
tered ,  and  to  our  alumnae.

father,  grad.  Aloany  Acad.,  1853,  Univ.  of  Rochester, 
18o5.  Seven  years'  staff  service  with  Boston  and  N.  Y. 
journals  (under  William  Cullen  Bryant,  1858-1860; 
Journey  to  Red  River  and  Beyond,  1859;  N.  Y.  World

Gave  early  publicity  in  U.  S.  to  writings  of  Herbert 
fapencer  (e.  g.),  on  maintenance  of  justice  as  chief, 
if  not  sole,  legitimate  domestic  function  of  Gov't 
wielding  coercive  power  of  whole  body  of  citizens;  in 
opposition  to  Peace-Democrats,  held  that,  after  Fort 
Sumter,  war  was  unavoidable  for  resisting  disruption 
of  Union  and  subversion  of  its  Constitution;  opposed 
exorbitance  of  exec,  power,  usurpings  of  ungranted 
power  as  likewise  its  subversion;  opposed  warping 
Custom  House  taxation,  touching  all,  into  profit  ma- 
chines of  a  few;  opposed  Federal  income  tax- 
ing as  direct  taxes  faithless  to  an  original  com- 
promise, and  false  to  actual  terms  of  the  Constitution; 
opposed  greenbacks  (as  ever-injurious  substitute  for 
money),  also  doubling  the  cost  of  the  waT  then  wag- 
ing, and  repeating  our  own  calamitous  colonial  ex- 
perience which  had  caused  the  shaping  of  the  Consti- 
tution to  make  such  issues  lawless;  opposed  negro 
suffrage,  and  impeachment  of  Pres.  Johnson.  Ob- 
structing a  partisan  misuse  for  partisan  advantage,  of 
issues  so  momentous,  he  urged  and  supported  pro- 
cedures consummated  in  the  Washington  Treaty, 
Geneva  Arbitration,  Alabama  Award,  deeming  explicit 
avowal  of  regret  from  the  source  over  the  seas  of  our 
greatest  injury  to  be  the  best  ending  of  old  antago- 
nisms and  only  heginning  of  subsequent  peace.  Began 
that  assault  against  Tweed  Ring  which  finally  purged 
city  gov't  for  a  season  and  elected  Samuel  J.  Tilden 
Gov.  of  N.  Y.;  wrote  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  Dem.  State  plat- 
form, 1874,  and  the  St.  Louis  Nat.  Dem.  platform 
1876,  upon  which  Mr.  Tilden  stood  for  Gov.  of  N  Y 
and  Presidency  of  U.  S.;  similar  platform  of  1884  upon 
which  Mr.  Cleveland  stood  for  Presidency,  and  a 
pamphlet,  1878,  disclosing  that  for  the  Electoral 
Comm'n  law.  Mr.  Tilden  was  not  responsible.  Special 
envoy  sent  by  Pres.  Cleveland,  1885,  to  gov'ts  of  Great 
Britain,  France,  Germany,  and  after  conferences  with 
Prince  Bismarck,  with  MM.  Freycinet,  Carnot,  and 
with  Cernuschi,  the  classic  authority  upon  internat.

The  poem  immediately  attracted  the  attention  of  both 
hemispheres.  From  boyhood  wrote  for  magazines  and 
newspapers  and  found  entrance  to  the  best  Eastern 
publications,  but  up  to  the  appearance  of  "The  Man

siderable attention.  This  poem  called  out  an  extra- 
ordinary volume  of  comment;  some  characterizing  it 
as  "an  insult  to  labor"  and  others  as  "a  psalm  of 
labor"  and  "the  battle-cry  of  the  next  thousand  years." 
It  was  copied  throughout  the  world  and  translated 
into  every  living  tongue  Was  for  7  years  sup't  of

FOR   BOYS 
UNDER  SIXTEEN 


Nova  Scotia 


Last  season  two  boys  from  St.  Louis 
(10  and  12  years)  attended  Camp 
Mooswa.  The  mother  writes:  "Mr. 
S and  I  will  go  to  Europe  this  Sum- 
mer, taking  our  motor  car,  and  we  have 
decided  to  send  our  boys  to  you  again. 
They  prefer  Mooswa  to  a  European  trip, 
so  you  see  you  have  won  their  hearts." 

Missouri  is  some  distance  from  Nova 
Scotia.  Our  illustrated  booklet  will  be  of 
interest  to  parents  making  a  careful  selec- 
tion of  a  suitable  camp  for  their  boys.

If  you  want  to  choose  your  first  teacher  of  SINGING,  or  to  make  a  change, 
because  you  do  not  notice  decided  progress  in  every  lesson,  go  to 

Madame  C.  de  Rigaud 

Telephone.  Rivers.de  n52        2647  Broadway,  New  York 

In  any  case  let  her  give  a  frank  and  reliable  opinion  and  advice  regarding  your  voice. 

MME.  FRIEDA  LANGENDORFF,  the  great  contralto  of  the  Metropolitan  Opera,  New 
York,  and  the  Royal  Operas  of  Berlin  and  Vienna,  says: 

May  1st,  1908. 
I  studied  under  the  greatest  masters  wherever  my  professional  life  led  me,  but  I 
found  nowhere  as  clear  and  natural  a  course  of  tuition  as  Mme.  de  Rigaud  uses  in 
her  lessons.  In  the  many  hours  spent  at  her  studio  I  have  profited  greatly  by  her  thor- 
oughly scientific  method,  and  I  am  convinced  that  with  her  method  of  voice  treatment 
she  has  corrected  all  kinds  of  faults  in  an  incredibly  short  time,  and  also  that  she  de- 
velops small  voices  so  that  they  bloom  out  too  large,  individual  and  attractive  ones. 
To  all  my  young  studying  colleagues  I  wish  to  say  that  Madame  de  Rigaud's  beauti- 
ful art  of  teaching  has  proven  most  helpful  and  valuable.      [Translation.] 

Mme.  de  Rigaud  holds  a  number  of  equally  strong  and  hearty  endorsements  from  promi- 
nent singers,  which  will  be  furnished  on  application.

OFFER  a  complete  education  for  the  singer,  and  invite  personal  applica- 
tion or  correspondence  from  those  desiring  the  best  in  vocal  instruction. 
Pupils  accepted  at  any   time  between    September  15th  and  June  30th. 

In  order  to  place  the  Weigester  method  of  singing  and  teaching  of  sing- 
ing within  the  reach  of  those  who  are  unable  to  attend  the  regular  winter 
sessions,  a 

Summer  Term  of  Six  Weeks  is  held  annually  near  Elmira,  N.  Y. 

Eighth  annual  session  of  the  Weigester  Summer  School  will  open  July  20,  1914 

This  special  course  has  been  planned  to  cover  the  entire  art  of  singing.  This  does  not 
mean  that  a  beginner  in  6  weeks'  time  will  become  a  finished  singer,  but  that  the  entire 
ground  of  vocal  study  is  covered  by  means  of  lecture,  class  and  private  instructions;  the 
principles  of  correct  tone-production  are  explained,  and  the  qualifications  of  an  artist  are 
brought  out,  in  order  that  the  students  may  work  intelligently  by  themselves  during  the 
time  when  they  are  away  from  an  instructor. 

Write  to  our  New  York  address  for  Booklet    C,    which    gives    complete    information

544  SINGING  AND  MUSIC 


Miss  Anne  Stevenson 

Cearfjer  of  iHngtns 

828  Carnegie  Hall  New  York  City 


CHave  you  ever  heard  a  singer  whose  speaking  voice  you  considered  beau- 
tiful, while  you  thought  the  singing  voice  somewhat  harsh? 
CThat  voice  has  not  been  properly  trained  from  the  beginning. 
C,Miss  Stevenson  has  made  a  scientific  study  under  Belari,  the  teacher  of 
Madame  Nordica,  of  the  whole  subject  of  breath  control,  muscular  control, 
concentration  of  resonance,  and  the  cultivation  of  mellowness  of  quality 
which  gives  the  ideal  tone  to  the  voice.

JOSEFFY  METHOD 


828  Carnegie  Hall  New  York  City 


C,Mr.  Dixon  presents  a  quick,  concise,  scientific  method  for  gaining  perfect 
control  of  all  the  muscles  of  the  arms  and  hands  used  in  piano  playing. 
This  method  gives  independence  of  the  fingers,  and  assures  speed  and 
clearness  in  scales,  arpeggios,  trills,  octaves  and  chord  passages,  thus  mak- 
ing it  possible  to  play  artistically  and  to  perform  the  master  pieces  according 
to  traditional  interpretation,  and  to  raise  the  general  piano  playing  to  a 
very  high  standard.

mission, conversion  and  distribution  disclosed  in  these 
patents  made  possible  the  various  rapid  transit  sub- 
ways and  tunnels  now  operating  in  N.  Y.  City,  and 
the  electrification  of  suburban  and  long  distance  steam 
railwavs  now  going  on  in  the  U.  S.  and  other  coun- 
tries. "His  basic  patents  on  this  invention  were  finally 
adjudged  in  his  favor  after  nearly  14  years  litigation, 
and  were  purchased  by  the  Westinghouse  Elec  and 
Mf'g  Co.  in  1903,  on  behalf  of  itself  and  the  General 
Electric  Co.,  then  operating  under  the  so-called 
Patent  Pool  arrangement.  Has  taken  out  over  200 
patents  on  various  pioneer  inventions,  many  of  which 
are  in  extensive  use,  some  of  the  more  notable  being 
his  method  of  electrically  welding  track  rails,  new 
processes  of  rivetting  by  electricity,  underground 
electric  railway  conduit  or  sub-trolley  system  now 
used  in  Xew  York  and  other  large  cities;  methods  and 
appliances  for  electric  heating  and  cooking,  telephone 
and  telephonograph  systems  and  apparatus,  etc. 
Among  others  in  general  use  are  his  basic  patents  on 
electric  elevator  controllers,  etc.,  covering  the  method 
and  apparatus  adopted  by  the  Otis  Elevator  Co.  and 
others  on  their  electric  elevators,  and  for  general 
motor  starting  and  braking  purposes.  Invented  and 
perfected  an  entirely  new  and  very  effective  telephone 
system  and  apparatus,  the  patents  on  which  were 
taken  over  by  the  United  States  Automatic  Telephone 
Co.  of  N.  Y.  In  1912,  following  the  sinking  of  the 
"Titanic"  by  collision  with  an  iceberg,  he  applied  for 
patents  on  a  novel  sound-detecting  and  registering 
system  designed  to  prevent  such  disasters  in  future, 
and  which  also  provides  other  important  safeguards 
against  the  dangers  of  navigation.  Independent  in

608  BOARDING  SCHOOL— BOYS 

Asheville  School 

Located  in  the  Mountains  of  North  Carolina,  NEAR  ASHEVILLE 

NEWTON   M.  ANDERSON  and  CHARLES  A.  MITCHELL,  Principal's 


The  following  is  a  statement  of  its  most  important  features : 

1.  The  school  is  a  high  grade,  standard  college  preparatory  school,  which 
seeks  only  those  boys  whose  home  life  has  laid  the  foundation  for  good  character, 
manly  conduct  and  good  scholarship. 

2.  The  school  is  situated  in  the  most  healthful  region  east  of  the  Mississippi 
River,  in  a  climate  giving  the  largest  opportunity  for  out-door  life. 

3.  The  grounds  contain  seven  hundred  acres  of  land,  providing  fields  for 
games,  ponds,  streams,  woods  and  hills.  This  land  was  selected  not  only  with  re- 
gard to  its  usefulness,  but  also  for  the  beauty  of  its  surroundings. 

4.  The  playing  fields  contain  3  baseball  diamonds,  football  field,  %  mile  run- 
ning track,  9  tennis  courts,  golf  course,  gun  traps  (under  the  supervision  of  a 
master),  and  a  rowing  course  %  of  a  mile  in  length. 

5.  The  gymnasium  has  5  squash  courts,  4  courts  for  basketball,  and  swim- 
ming pool,  beside  all  the  usual  equipment. 

6.  The  buildings  were  constructed  especially  for  school  purposes  and  are 
thoroughly  sanitary. 

7.  The  courses  of  study,  though  broad,  are  consistent,  and  give  the  best 
preparation  to  boys  who  desire  to  enter  any  college  or  technical  school  or  to  go 
into  business. 

8.  The  teachers  are  graduates  of  the  best  Northern  colleges,  chosen  for 
their  fitness  to  instruct  and  care  for  boys. 

9.  The  boys  are  under  constant  care  and  charge  of  the  principals  and  their 
families. 

10.  As  there  is  one  master  for  every  10  boys,  each  boy  gets  an  abundance 
of  individual  care,  both  in  his  school  life  and  in  his  home  life. 

11.  The  school  refers  to  the  authorities  of  over  21  of  the  leading  collegiate 
institutions  which  its  graduates  have  entered  within  the  past  14  years. 

12.  Graduates  of  the  school  now  attend  Harvard,  Yale,  Princeton,  Williams, 
Amherst,  Mass.  Inst,  of  Technology,  Cornell,  Case  School  of  Applied  Science, 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  University  of  Michigan,  University  of  Wisconsin, 
Rensselaer  Polytechnic  Institute,  Brown  University,  Haverford  College,  Leland 
Stanford,  Jr.,  and  other  well-known  colleges. 

13.  Present  students  are  from  New  York,  Massachusetts,  Pennsylvania,  New 
Jersey,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Michigan,  Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  Iowa,  Colorado, 
Oklahoma,  California,  Kentucky,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  and  Florida. 

TUITION  $800  PER  YEAR

1.  Is  a  specialist  in  voice  placing  as 
well  as  in  interpretation;  she  has, 
moreover,  a  thorough  knowledge  of 
the  human  throat. 

2.  She  possesses  the  rare  gift  of  the 
"absolute  pitch,"  a  gift  which  can- 
not be  overvalued  in  a  teacher  of 
singing.  Not  only  is  her  own  in- 
tonation exquisitely  pure,  but  her 
fine,  sensitive  ear  allows  her  to  de- 
velop purity  of  intonation  and 
beauty  of  tone  in  her  pupils. 

3.  She  plays  a  virtuoso  accompani- 
ment. 

4.  She  has  a  broad  culture  outside  of 
music,  having  studied  painting,  his- 
tory, literature,  and  especially  lan- 
guages: German,  English,  French, 
Italian. 

5.  She  has  restored  many  a  voice  which 
seemed  hopelessly  injured  by  abuse, 
and  developed  voices  where  other 
teachers  failed  to  find  any.

TESLA,   NIKOLA 

Electrician,  inventor;  b.  Smiljan,  Dika,  border  coun- 
try of  Austro-Hungary;  s.  of  a  distinguished  Greek 
clergyman  and  orator,  and  of  Georgiana  Mandic,  a 
famous  woman  and  inventor,  whose  father  was  also 
an  inventor;  ed.  in  elementary  school  of  native  place,

Originally  destined  for  the  clergy,  but  prevailed  upon 
his  parents  to  send  him  to  Poly.  School  in  Gratz. 
where  for  four  years  studied  mathematics,  physics 
and  mechanics,  following  with  two  years  in  philo- 
sophical studies  at  Univ.  of  Prague,  Bohemia.  Began 
practical  career,  1881,  in  Budapest,  Hungary,  where 
made  his  first  electrical  invention,  a  telephone  re- 
peater, and  conceived  the  idea  of  his  rotating-mag- 
netic  field;  thence  went  to  France  and  Germany,  where 
was  successfully  engaged  in  various  branches  of 
eng'ring  and  mf'g;  since  1884,  in  U.  S.,  of  which  is  a 
naturalized  citizen.  Author  of  numerous  scientific 
papers  and  addresses.  Among  his  inventions  and  dis- 
coveries are:  System  of  arc  lighting,  1886;  Tesla  Mo- 
tor, and  system  of  alternating  current  power  trans- 
mission, popularly  known  as  2-phase,  3-phase,  multi- 
phase or  polyphase  systems,  1888;  system  of  electrical 
conversion  and  distribution  by  oscillatory  discharges, 
1889;  generators  of  high-frequency  currents  and  ef- 
fects of  these,  1890;  transmission  of  energy  through 
a  single  wire  without  return,  1S91;  the  Tesla  Coll  or 
Transformer,  1891;  novel  system  of  electric  lighting 
by  Tesla  tubes,  1891;  investigations  of  high-frequency 
effects  and  phenomena,  1891-1893;  system  of  wireless 
transmission  of  intelligence,  1893;  mechanical  oscil- 
lators and  generators  of  electrical  oscillations,  1894- 
1895;  researches  and  discoveries  in  radiations,  mate- 
rial streams  and  emanations,  1896-1898;  high-poten- 
tial magnifying  transmitter,  1897;  system  of  trans- 
mission of  power  without  wires,  1897-1905;  economic 
transmission  of  energy  by  refrigeration,  1898;  art  of 
Telautomatics,  1S98-1899;  discovery  of  stationary 
electrical  waves  in  the  earth,  1899;  burning  of  atmos- 
pheric nitrogen,  and  production  of  other  electrical

and  apparatus  for  magnifying  feeble  effects,  1901- 
1902;  art  of  individualization,  1902-1903:  since  1903 
chiefly  engaged  in  development  of  his  system  of 
world-telegraphy  and  telephony,  and  the  design  of  a 
large  plant  for  the  transmission  of  power  without 
wires,  to  be  erected  at  Niagara.  His  most  important 
recent  work  is  the  discovery  of  a  new  mechanical 
principle,  which  he  has  embodied  in  a  great  variety 
of  machines,  as  reversible  gas  and  steam  turbines, 
pumps,  blowers,  air  compressors,  water  turbines, 
mechanical  transformers  and  transmitters  of  power, 
hot-air  engines,  etc.  This  principle  enables  the  pro- 
duction of  prime  movers  capable  of  developing  ten 
horsepower,  or  even  more,  for  each  pound  of  weight. 
By  their  application  to  aerial  navigation,  and  the 
propulsion  of  vessels,  high  speeds  are  practicable.

the  man  or  woman  of  culture 

i-siBSF^ 

and  refinement. 

Few  know  how  to  breathe, 
and  yet  breathing  is  the  most 
important  thing  we  do.    Cor- 
rect  breathing  will   cure   or 
prevent  nervousness,  indiges- 
tion, insomnia,  asthma,  tuber- 
cular conditions,  baldness  and 
excessive  flesh. 

The  cultured  man  or  woman 
must  sit,  stand,  talk  and  walk 
correctly,   and  yet  how  few 
attain  to  these  graceful  con- 
ditions. 

Any  one  who  is  not  dumb 
may  be  taught  to  sing.    Sing- 

i ■ 

• 

ing  is  the  natural  language  of 

all  human   beings.     Children 

sing  little  monotones  before 

they    learn   to    speak.      Even 

the     dumb     hum     discordant 

sounds  in  moments  of  revery. 

We  are  the  result  of  train- 

ing in  all  things.     The  voice 

has    simply    been    neglected, 

but  stands  now  pleading  for 
recognition.

or    too    old    to    improve    the

Soc  Inventor  of  Electrophone,  electric  device  to  en- 
able the  deaf  to  hear.  Made  special  study  of  value 
of  electricity  and  magnetism  in  medicine,  and  has 
written  various  papers  on  the  subject.  When  radium 
was  discovered  was  among  the  first  in  this  country 
to  procure  some  of  it  and  investigate  its  properties; 
wrote  small  volume  on  Radium  and  Radioactivity. 
Authority  on  med.  use  of  electricity  magnetism  and 
radium.  The  N.  Y.  Mail  (Nov.  19,  1910),  speaking  of 
Br.  Tracy's  use  of  electricity,  says:  "Wonderful  waves 
of  wireless  electric  energy  passing  through  solid  brick 
walls  are  being  used  by  Dr.  Samuel  G.  Tracy  for  the 
successful  treatment  of  nervous  diseases  and  other 
ailments.  Dr.  Tracy  used  the  ordinary  street  current, 
causing  the  110  volts  to  pass  from  the  wire  through 
the  air  and  into  the  room  where  he  is  operating.  Here 
it  is  taken  up  by  a  transformer  coil  and  converted 
into  a  smooth,  painless  and  harmless  current.  An 
ordinary  electric  light  socket  was  attached  to  the 
transmormed  coil,  the  receiver  being  in  another  room 
and  having  an  electric  lamp  attached.  Instantly  thij 
lamp  glowed,  showing  the  current  at  work  through 
the  air  and  wall.  Two  sponge  electrodes,  when  taken 
in  the  hands,  gave  the  patient  only  a  pleasant  sensa- 
tion, although  the  current  was  sufficiently  powerful 
to  light  the  lamp  and  illuminate  the  room.  By  this 
new  method  Dr.  Tracy  claims  that  a  patient  may  be 
treated  for  nervous  diseases  with  constantly  increas- 
ing tonic  results,  while  with  stimulatory  drugs  the 
effect,  he  says,  is  momentary  only.  The  remarkable 
part  of  the  treatment  is  the  harnessing  of  the  electric 
waves  without  the  aid  of  wires,  and  their  transforma- 
tion into  harmless  activity."  Republican  Mem  Dutch
