W«te "JSbirt's editing and managing in vtriom capacities myMl of themmt sucoMstal magazines of HM day. Now they are to see if they xnake as good a magazine for as thcqr have helj>ed in the past to make for other people. "The -World's Work" is a first-hand maguane of human progress, dealing with the vital questions of contemporan­ eous interest in a thoughtful yet frank and incisive way. It considers condi­ tions not theories, facts not fancies, be­ lieving that our own time and country are good to live in, and that "the best is yet to be." It is a necessary magazine for tile men who do things. It is illustrated by pictures larger than those usually published in our ma gazines. There will lie clear-headed ar tides on topics of vital interest, by men who know what they write about. The editor is Mr. Walter H. Page, assisted by trained writers; no attempt will be made to obtain a famous list of contri­ butors--the idea of the Magazine well carried out is expected to win respect and interest. Besides many special ar­ ticles there will be each month a history and explanation of significant happen­ ings; and further, a department under the head of "Among the World's Work­ ers, " which will tell the busy man in concise fashion the new advances and tendencies in the various branches of business and professional endeavor. The magazine will retail for twenty- five cents. The publishers first planned to sell it at ten cents a copy, but they abandoned the idea because they could not publish the kind of magazine they wanted at that price without making the advertiser pay most of the bills and all the profit. It will be sewed like a book, so that it will open flat in the hand. The size of the page and of the type will be considerably larger than in most of the monthlies.
