EFFICIENCY AND COOPERATION
"PAN AND HIS PIPES" PUBLISHED
New Volume Issued by Educational Department
of Victor Co. Has List of Suitable Illustra-
tive Records Following Stories for Children
—An Interesting and Valuable Volume
A most interesting addition to the growing
list of Victor literature is a beautiful little vol-
ume entitled: "Pan and His Pipes and Other
Tales for Children," by Katherine Dunlap
Cather, and published by the educational de-
partment of the Victor Talking Machine Co.
The little volume has a foreword by Frances
Elliott Clark, director of the Victor Co.'s edu-
cational department.
The stories include:
"Pan and His Pipes," "The Tortoise That Gave
the World Music," "The Holy Bird," "The
Harp King Alfred Played," "Stephen, the Child
Crusader," "When Knighthood Was in Flower,"
"The Violin Makers of Cremona," "A Star and
a Song," "The Holy Grail," and "The Song of
Hiawatha."
The text is well written and designed to be
understandable and thoroughly interesting to
the little ones. Each story is suitably illus-
trated. Perhaps the most interesting feature
of "Pan and His Pipes" is the suggestive list
of Victor records given after each story. The
story of "Pan and His Pipes," for instance, is
followed by a list of sixteen selections played
on wood-wind instruments, descended from the
Pipes of Pan. The story of the tortoise is fol-
lowed by selections on instruments descended
from the ancient lyre. Similarly the story of
"The Violin Makers of Cremona" is followed
by a list of selections by violin and 'cello, and
the story of "Stephen, the Child Crusader," is
accompanied by a list of songs and instrumental
numbers, played on a variety of instruments such
as the mandolin, guitar, etc., descended from
the lute which was brought by the Crusaders
from the East.
On the whole the volume is interesting not
only for the character of the contents, but for
the originality that has been displayed in its
compilation, and it is safe to predict for it a
wide use not only in the schoolroom, but in
the private nursery and music room.
In commenting upon "Pan and His Pipes"
Mrs. Frances E. Clark, director of the educa-
tional department of the Victor Co., said:
"The little book is the result of plans which
we have had for two years or more to connect
the well-known myths of the discovery of mu-
sical instruments with their present day de-
scendants. Everybody knows the myth of the
discovery of the membrane tortoise shell which
gave us the lyre, but not one person in hun-
dreds ever stopped to think whatever became
of the lyre nor to realize that it was metamor-
phosed into the harp, the spinet, the harpsi-
chord and the modern piano. The same inter-
esting tracing of the pan pipes and the wood
wind section of the orchestra and our pipe or-
gan is interesting."
Mrs. Cather, who wrote the stories under
Mrs. Clark's direction and plan, is a teacher
of English in San Jose, Cal., and has written
a number of stories for St. Nicholas and other
magazines.
VISITORS AT COLUMBIA OFFICES
Philadelphia and Baltimore Sales Staffs Also
Visit Factory at Bridgeport—Some New
Recordings by Vernon Stiles Announced
The members of the Philadelphia and Balti-
more sales staffs of the Columbia Graphophone
Co. were visitors last week at the executive
offices of the company, spending some time in
conference with Central Sales Manager Bradt
and United States Manager Fuhri. They also
visited the Columbia factory at Bridgeport,
Conn., and were amazed at the remarkable
strides which have been made at the plant the
past year. They also called at the recording
laboratory and conferred with Anton Heindl,
manager of the international record department,
regarding the plans which this department has
in mind for the coming year.
One of the interesting features of the Jan-
ary supplement of new Columbia records is the
announcement of the first recordings by Ver-
non Stiles, a leading American tenor. Mr.
Stiles has not only won success in this country
but has also appeared in operatic triumphs in
Vienna, Dresden, Bayreuth and Petrograd. He
won high praise in his singing of "Parsifal" with
the Chicago Grand Opera Co., and in solo work
with the New York Symphony Orchestra, and
in open-air Wagnerian productions by the
Metropolitan Opera Co. His first Columbia
record consists of the following popular selec-
tions, "The Sunshine of Your Smile" and "The
Old Refrain."
ENLARGES TALKER DEPARTMENT
E. M. Reynolds, of Canton, 111., has enlarged
his talking machine department, and now has
one large room for the display of Edison Dia-
mond Disc phonographs and another demontsra-
tion room where a full line of Columbia Grafo-
nolas are shown.

Piano merchants, who
have not investigated
the talking machine
field, will find that the
subject is one of deep
interest to them and
they will also learn that
talking machines con-
stitute a line which can
be admirably blended
with piano selling.
The advance that has
been m a d e in this
special field has been
phenomenal and every
dealer w h o desires
s p e c i f ic information
concerning talking ma-
chines should receive
The Talking Machine
World regularly.
This is the only publi-
cation in A m e r i c a
devoted exclusively to
the interests of the talk-
ing machine, and each
issue contains a vast
fund of valuable in-
formation which the
talking machine job-
bers and dealers say is
worth ten times the cost
of the paper to them.
You can receive the
paper regularly at a cost
of $1.00 a year and we
know of no manner in
which $1.00 can be ex-
pended which will sup-
ply as much valuable
information.
