Who's Who is America : 1918-19. Edited by A. N.

Marquis. (Stanley Paul. 30s. net.)—The tenth volume of this excellent biographical dictionary contains notices of 22,968 prominent men and women. Of these, 728 were born in the United Kingdom and 477 in Canada, as against only 375 Germans and 224 other Europeans. The editor states that the subjects ore selected either because they are well known by their work, or because they hold official positions. It is instructive to find that, roughly, seven out of ten received a College education ; the proportion is far higher in America than it would be here or elsewhere, owing to the rapid growth of American Universities with public and private support.
