OF KIPLING WORKS
Several Of Stricken Writer'S
Books Composed in Vermont

Brattleboro, VT, Dec. 5 Rl-This
city is watching the progress Of
Rudyard Kipling's fight against
pneumonia with more than casual
interest, Since it was here that the
famous English author wrote some
Of his more celebrated works.
Kipling spent nearly four years in
Brattleboro and his home, the Nau-
lahHa, named for the novel, was
known to the countless thousands
who enjoyed The jungle Books"
Captains Courageous" and other
works which had literary birth
there.
The association Of Kipling with
Brattlchoro really goes back to the
time when Wolcott Balestier and his
sister, Caroline. children of the son
Of an early settler. went to London.
Wolcott had written several novels,
and In London he became n publish
er. In 1891 he met the future liter
airy celebrity Who had come from
India after having completed his
barrack room ballads.
The two became intimate friends
and together they elaborated on
The ulohEa', written during six
weeks that Kipling spent at the Bal
icstier home. There the poet became
acquainted with Caroline Malesticr
and a friendship which began then
resulted in their marriage in Janu-
airy, 1892, shortly after the death Of
the brother, Wolcott.
A desire to visit her relatives
brought Mrs. Kipling and her hus-
band to Brattleboro a month after
their marriage. They bought land on
the outskirts Of the city and the
Naulahka was built, where many of
the mast erpieces were written, which
have made kipling's name a house
hold word wherever English is read,
The Jungle books, Captains Cour-
ageous, the book of short stories
called THE Days Work" and most
of the poems In Seven Seas" Kip

Mass. where he spent several weeks
gathering material for Captains
Courageous"
Not only did many OF the literary
lights Of the day visit his home but
the volume of mall from admirers all
over the world was so great that the
author asked and was granted n
special post office by the United
States government. This postoffice
was called The Waite" and was
situated near his home.

When the Kiplings returned TO Eng

ly.

privileged to know them there is no

After Jnauary 1. 1925, the navy
recruiting officer at 9C2 Chapel
street, New Haven, Is authorized to
accept reenlisted men for duty on the
Holland. Transportation will be
furnished reenlisted men direct from
the recruiting station to the Holland

Since the role of the Holland is

Though OF necessity limited, due

was placed in full commission last
September and is at present at the

fleet submarine, the VS.. is at the

down.
Funds have been appropriated for
two light cruisers, and six river gun

PROBLEMS AIRED
BY EDUCATORS
Wesleyan Conference Brings
Out Various Views

Middlctown, Dec. 5tAp,--The transit
ton of the American college from an
institution for imparting liberal cul-
ture 10 preparatory school for
the professions was described by
President Frank Goodnow of Johns
Hopkins university in an address be-
fore the intercollegiate parley on cd
ucation in session at Wesleyan uni
versity here today.
The speaker did not express alarm
at this, but sounded a warning that
education In preparatory school,
college and professional schools
must not be allowed to degenerate
into merely technical specialization"
Coincident with the altering char
acter of education in college, Presi-
dent Goodnow said there has deve-
oped a tendency TO lay more en-
phasis on cultural subjects In the
preparatory school. In this connec-
ton. he said that the work of tho
last two years of preparatory school
and the first two years overlaps to
" III SN 'AleiI'' ms uupIlCaIlOn OIL
effort should be eliminated, he con-
tended.
"a university cannot successfully
devote itself at the same time to sec
ondary and advanced instruction"
he said. He added that under the
present system "the use Of secondary
methods is unduly prolonged and the
Use OF methods best suited to ad.
Yanced work is unduly postponed"
President Goodnow said that
American young people "as a rule
unduly postpone the beginning OF
their professional or advanced work
as compared with the youth Of othc1
countries"
The speaker mentioned the Junior
college movement which has devcl
opod since 1910. In most cases. he
said. these colleges have wisely
been formed by adding two years TO
tie secondary school. II the iunio,
colleges will provide special treat
