Editorial It is a significant and encouraging omen that the Patriotic Number of this magazine should be enabled to chronicle the two new additions to the ever-growing list of American Phonograph Societies and also the issue of the first recording sponsored by one of these societies , the first major musical work to be recorded privately in this country. We must trust that the labors of Mr. and Mrs. Fisher and the Chicago Gramophone Society will result in many more contributions to recorded music as notable as the Franck Prelude , Choral and Fugue. American composers and their works have been stressed in this issue , but ive should not for- get that while American music should naturally be of the greatest interest to every music loving citizen , music in America must be our first consideration. Everything that works for its good should have the earnest support and heartiest co-operation of all of us. It is a pleasure to make special mention this month of the technical perfection which has been obtained by all the native recording companies. The releases from Brunswick , Columbia , Edison , Okeh, and Victor all testify to the fact that present day records (altogether apart from their artistic merits) are mechanically as fine as it would seem possible to make them. Take almost any current record at random: the recording , the surface , the stamping, the material are all virtually flawless. Surely another significant omen for the future of the phonograph movement. The first of the long-promised sound box articles appears this month and again we must re- peat our learning that such an article must necessarily make no pretensions to finality. Personal taste is the strongest factor in all judgments of tonal qualities and we trust that our opinions will be augmented by those of our readers who have experimented in this baffling , but fascinating field.
