NPLING COLLECIION PRESENTED TO LIBRARY CONGRESS
Admiral Chandler, Friend of Loved British
Author. Has Spent Years Gathering
Information for Index.

interested in them, and later in life
ne began to try to collect informa-
ton about the many things in Kip
hnss writings that he did not fully
understand, but which most earnestly
intrigued his interest. Upon his re-
tlrement from active service he began
TO search out answers to some Of these
questions. and at the same time to
try to find out when and where-that
is. for what special groups Of readers,
II any. the tales and poems were first
written. And he also tried to get
together information as to where and
when the stories and verses were first
published in collected form, in what
subsequent collections Of special in
terest, If any, they reappeared. and in
what collected volumes they may most
readily be found today. In addition,
IN many instances, 1t was found neces-
sary to search out the inner meaning
and purpose Of many writings, espe-
cially those bearing on current events
OF the date Of writing.
This process OF research resulted
IN securing also copies of many un-
collected items, great many Of which
were published only in the early Indian
newspapers. Many of them were
topical in character and of local or
temporary interest only so far as they
themselves are concerned, but they
now have a renewed interest as having
been written by Kipling. After time
the mass of information collected be-
came so great that for it to be in any
way useful some systematic means of
arranging and preserving 1t became
necessary, and this need resulted in
the creation Of the Special Edition"
THIS valuable work happily be-
came the property OF the Library
OF Congress, and 50 the Nation, for in
1896 Admiral Chandler executed
codicil to his will providing that upon
his death it should become the prop
erty OF the Library of Congress. How
ever, the compiler decided to place
the precious volumes in the Librarys
safekeeping during his lifetime, and
thu. 1t makes up the latest literary
contribution of international impor-
tance and interest.
Admiral Chandler, who Is the son
OF the late William Eaton Chandler.
Secretary of the Navy under President
Arthur and erstwhile Senator from
New Hampshire. has made his home in
the Capital for many years since his
retirement. although his intense inter-
est In Kipling has lee him far
afield on occasion. Perhaps the most
memorable Of such journeyings was
that day when, by appointment, he
met the author he so admired, together
with his charming wife, in London
hotel, and heard, firsthand, OF the
Britisher's appreciation for the interest
manifested In his writings.
Some OF the most valuable items in
this present collection constitute the

Previously Uncollected Items Published in
Early Indian Papers Now Available
to Research Scholars.

THE story Of the sheet Of manu-
script is recounted next, given ir
. letter dated Christmas Day, 1904
from Miss Sara Norton to her cousin
DR.. Francis Bullard OF Boston, and
in which she says in part: SO
Here Is . trifie that perhap.
is worthy to be put in your copy OF
the Seven Seas When was staying
with r. X. he wrote the famous poem
afterward called the 'Recessional.
but 1t began in his head as After and
this is = copy OF the poem he began
and then tossed aside"
Commenting upon this letter, Ad-
miral Chandler observes: THE above
story has been expanded into q tale
that Miss Norton offered the manu-
script to the London Times for publi-
cation. but was refused. Kiplins
caused his agents to deny all knowl-
edge Of this matter. presumably basins
his denial on the Times story, for the
manuscript most certainly seems to be
In his handwriting.
When Kipling sent the manuscript
Of 'Recessional" to the Times, we
learn he sent . letter with it which
read. "Inclosed please find my senti-
ments on things which I hope are
yours. We've been blowing up the
trumpets Of the new moon a little too
much for white men and it's about
time We sobered down. II you like it,
it's At your service, on the old condi-
tion that I can use 1t If I want it
later in book form. I don't want any
proof. Couldn't you run it tonight,
so as to end the week piously?"'
There is also included in connection
with this item letter from Kipling to
DR.. Deschzessopp, dated THE Elms,
December Is, 1897" The letter states
in part: Glad you like the Recess
sional.' These things come not for
fasting and prayer. They arrive by
themselves somehow. Evidently the
idea must have been in the air or
men would not. have taken to the
rhymed expression Of 1t 10 kindly"
How Mr.. Kipling came to write the
"Recessional' Is explained in a quo
tation in the Chandler edition. from
Clemens "A Ken Of Kipling." That
poem gave me more trouble" the
British author Ii quoted Is saying,
than anything ever write. I had
promised the Times q poem on the
jubilee and when 1t became due had
written nothing that satisfied me. The
Times began to want the poem badly
and sent letter after letter asking for
1t. I made many more attempts, but
no further progress. Finally the
Times began sending kilograms, 30 I
shut mysteK up In . room with the
determination to stay there until had
written = jubilee poem. Sitting down
with all by, previous attempts before
me, I searched through those dozens
Of sketches till at last I found just
one line liked. That was Lest We
forget Round those words the Re-
was written"

or poems. Rest assured that those
stories and poems are somewhere
among KipDng's writings!";
Certainly Admiral Chandler, IL any
one, should know, for the volumes he
has got together contain the complet-
est review of those works ever gath
cred between covers, from "Abaft the
Funnel" Of the "A's," through "Baa,
Baa, Black Sheep" In the BIS" to
Cairo, Sorcerer Of Cities" OF the
"C's" and on through "zogbaum.' and
last alphabetical entry Of the main
edition.
THE original and highly intelligent
manner In which Admiral
Chandler has made his observations
and the thoroughness with which he
has gathered information Is apparent
In the detailed treatment Of every
item. For example. let us consider
that well known and beloved poem.
"Recessional."
In Admiral Chambers compilation,
the history of this piece Of work has
been traced from its first appearance
in the London Times Of July II,
1897. The information 10 then given
that this poem was never copyrighted
and has been repeatedly and con-
stantly republished, up to the. present
day, in many languages and in many
periodicals and books It has been
included in the later editions Of the
hymn book Of the Episcopal Church" :"
We learn from Admiral Chandler's
recorded research that the poem ap-
peared in The Five Nations in 1908:
in Collected Verse, in 1907, in Verse.
Inclusive Edition, 1919; and in Poems
in 1929. 1T was most widely known"
the compilation states, ''of all Kip
ling's poems and has been set to music
by Reginald De Koven and many
others" -
Next, an Interpretation is given:
The poem is \ prayer for humility
Of spirit and contrition Of neart, and
that the power Of God may be kept in
mind, and 1t was written for the end
ing Of Queen victoria's Diamond Jubi-
lee Celebration In 1897"
The Chandler edition reveals otter
interesting facts In connection with
this poem-that the history Of the
original was asserted to be IN Hunt
inston Library under the title Retro
cession," and that in Harvard Library

The collection not only includes
about 300 volumes of Kipling's works,
but such store of information as has
never been gathered before with refer
ence to the writings of this English
author. The great mass of informa-
ton that resulted from a lifetime's
interest, research and study on the
part of Admiral Chandler has been
compiled into a special edition" that
will provide students and scholars
with complete knowledge of when and
where every story and every verse of
Kipling was written, under what cir
cumstances, when 1t was published. the

IN the possession Of the Library, have
been munificently bestowed for the
use and pleasure Of any citizen who
seeks them out.
Librarian of Congress, DR.. Herbert
Putnam, under whose administration
so many remarkable and valuable
items have been added to the Library

The. PiSgah division OF the for
est, covering the boundary on
which George w. Vanderbilt had
begun his first pioneering efforts
on Mills River and at Pisgah, was
purchased from his estate in
1912. With the work already
well started during his lifetime,
progress in this division has al

LABOR SAVING SHOWN
Recent Investigations, Gray
said, show that the modern farm
er eXpends no more time or labor
in producing 5000 bushels of
corn than did the farmer 100
years ago in producing $50 bush
els.
In 1855, Gray said, the corn
farmer used a walking pillow, and
planted and harvested by hand.
He needed 1876 hours of labor
to grow one acre of corn. The
amount of labor per acre was cut
to ISL hours in 1885 and &C.
in 1880, he said.
Further improvements in ma
chinery within the past eight
years - including four-row plant
ers and cultivators and general
purpose tractors-make it posi-
bic now to produce an acre of
corn with five hours of labor"
Gray said.
The development Of the gen.
eral purpose tractor, Hurst said,
probably has affected American
agriculture as much as, if not
more than, the development of the
reaper and steel pillow Of a CEN
fury ago"
TRACTORS MORE PRACTICAL
Only during the past 10 or II
years, he said, have tractors been
developed suitable for planting
and cultivating row crops, for
blowing, disking and belt work.
Use of pneumatic tires has great
ly increased the practicability of
tractors for both farm work and
road hauling.
Adapting of field machinery
to use with tractors" Hurst said,
CONSTITUTES the major recent de-
velopment in what is generally
known as farm implements. New
machinery permits higher speed
and increases effectiveness in
turning under cover crops"
Mechanization has progressed
further in the cultivation and har-
vesting of grain crops than in cot
ton. Labor in cotton fields will be
reduced by half when a mechan-
ical cotton picker becomes COM
available, it was said.
