CHAPTER V . THE FIRST NUMBER OF `` OUR MAGAZINE '' The first number of Our Magazine was ready on New Year 's Day , and we read it that evening in the kitchen . All our staff had worked nobly and we were enormously proud of the result , although Dan still continued to scoff at a paper that was n't printed . The Story Girl and I read it turnabout while the others , except Felix , ate apples . It opened with a short EDITORIAL With this number Our Magazine makes its first bow to the public . All the editors have done their best and the various departments are full of valuable information and amusement . The tastefully designed cover is by a famous artist , Mr. Blair Stanley , who sent it to us all the way from Europe at the request of his daughter . Mr. Peter Craig , our enterprising literary editor , contributes a touching love story . -LRB- Peter , aside , in a gratified pig 's whisper : `` I never was called ` Mr. ' before . '' -RRB- Miss Felicity King 's essays on Shakespeare is none the worse for being an old school composition , as it is new to most of our readers . Miss Cecily King contributes a thrilling article of adventure . The various departments are ably edited , and we feel that we have reason to be proud of Our Magazine . But we shall not rest on our oars . `` Excelsior '' shall ever be our motto . We trust that each succeeding issue will be better than the one that went before . We are well aware of many defects , but it is easier to see them than to remedy them . Any suggestion that would tend to the improvement of Our Magazine will be thankfully received , but we trust that no criticism will be made that will hurt anyone 's feelings . Let us all work together in harmony , and strive to make Our Magazine an influence for good and a source of innocent pleasure , and let us always remember the words of the poet . `` The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight , But they , while their companions slept , Were toiling upwards in the night . '' -LRB- Peter , IMPRESSIVELY : -- `` I 've read many a worse editorial in the Enterprise . '' -RRB-
