Preaching without practical doing'has little value
for the world. Personally, we care not at all to be
thought of merely as preachers. This is not The
Review's idea. It has ever been our pride, a point
of honor with us, to be on the firing line in every
new endeavor, in every forward movement. In
the present instance we can rightly fe"l that the
columns of the Player Section have been an in-
fluence for good throughout the whole trade, lint
we know also that constant growth is the only index
of progress. So we recognize the necessity for
such, growth, and are preparing now to set forth
certain new features for the fall which will be oi
immense value to our readers and will greatly tend
to improve the whole make-up of the section. Be-
ginning with the next issue, there will be inaugu-
rated some changes of method which will have
considerable influence upon our attitude, while
more firmly than ever fixing us in the position of
player arbiter for the piano trade.
