one 20 remedy them. The concealed fault
Is inclined to say:-"Well, well, I have
And IL IL the most dangerous one. Usually
a person dislikes to have to be compelled
TO SEQ them, and yet a sincere disciple feels
lmpelled 20 find them and get rid OF them.
The disoouraging part Of it is that one
Is inclined 10 say: well, well, 1 have
just got rid OF one fault, and here comes
up another that did not have before, and
so, what's the user
Just there Is where one makes the mis-
take; the fault is not a new one; IL was
there all the time, but It was hidden be-
hind the one just discovered and con-
quered. II is not a new fault at all: IL is
a fault that was standing In line just be-
hind the other one, and when fault No. /,
was discovered and displaced, fault No. 2,
was standing there revealed. After that
fault has been disposed Of there will be
still another right behind that: they do
not come crowding on all at once, but
they stand in single file, one behind the
other.
The encouraging part of the system Is to
be found in the recognition OF the fact
that the new fault is not something new at
all, but something old which was hidden.
II ia not some other thing that has turned
up, like a new weed grown in q night, but
another faulty layer coming into evidence
because the first layer has been removed.
Therefore the student should rejoice be-
cause another fault has become apparent,
for It is a sign of progress. II is not q
sign that should discourage one, but a
sign that should encourage one. II
signifies that one fault has been con-
ouered, and a hidden one left exposed;
that too, will succumb to persistent work

after another will vanish. When fault
after fault has shown itself, has been
wrestled with, and has been removed, then
into the view comes fault-lsssness, and
faultnessless Is Perfection. Vou note that
we print Perfection with a capital "P." II
deserves the honor)
! To sum up: As long as fault is there,
It should be exposed: we should rejoice
over the exposure: for the ultimate end ID
! faultlessness, and we never can gain that
except through exposure OF fault after
fault II we are sensible, exposure will
work into determination. Therefore, dc
not be dlsheartened when apparently
new faults present themselves: it Is the
outward and visible sign that some old
fault has been overcome. We are hearing
better that is all
| The morning after the Scott concert, g
young woman remarked TO the writer OF
this column that she had enjoyed the
! Prologue" 10 "Paglacci" very much, be-
cause she had heard It so often on the
singola, or whatever you may call those
instruments which reproduce the voices oil
singera-or rather-the singing Of singers
and the playing Of players.
And the thought suggests ITSELF Are thes,
mechanical instruments a good thing foi
Music or arc they not? Are they educa
tonal or the opposite? Are they desirabl,
or undesirable adjuncts?
Probably all musicians are asked thes,
questions at some time or other
The answer is Yes" They are, and the,
are not. Mostly, they are good things, edu
cational and desirable. II is only the abus,
OF them which Is bad.
