Author of Several Books Mr. Mills was born and educated in Chicago, graduating in 1901 from the University of Chicago. He did gradu ate work at Chicago, at the Cniversity of Nebraska, and later at Massachu setts Institute of Technology. He was an instructor in physics and electrical engineering for some years at the West ern Reserve "Cniversity of Cleveland, and at Colorado College.

EDUCATION NEED IS TOLD (Continued from page one") American people are as yet deaf, fallen into a lethargic Bleep, without a voice, insisted Dr. Willett. “Our boys went forth to set the pace in peace, to show righteousness and good-will among the nations, and our President went forth to speak it to the peoples,” said the speaker. “Our boys returned home, and our President returned with them; President Wilson, that great and far seeing statesman, and yet a man, who as we are now beginning to see, was destined to plow a lone furrow, a man who could not work with other men; he was encountered by a group of ir reconcilables in the Senate, who were intent on his political assasination; be tween these two conflicting parties, America, the people, with a voice, eager to speak regarding this association of | nations fell silent, smothered in the Slough of Despond.” Admiration for Harding “One of the things which I admire most about president Harding.” said Dr. Willett, “is that he took his poli tical life in his hands, and in the face of such men in the senate as Henry Cabot Lodge, William E. Borah and Hiram Johnson, declared the neces sity of some sort of an association of nations. The Armament Conference now meeting at Washington is one of the greatest events ever held under the auspices of the American government.” The third great issue to which the United States must pay close atten tion, as described by Dr. Willett, is Education. “You wonder,” said he. “why I come to you here at the univer sity to talk to you of a topic so famil iar. We believed at the outbreak of the war that we were the best educated nation in the world. The War has re vealed a prevailing illiteracy among our people. Eleven per cent of all the men in all phases of the service were unable to read and write. Fifth in Literacy “As a personal instance, I met on the train, not long ago, a young soldier, a native-born American who could not read or write so simple a thing as his own name. That man had lived in a town where there had been a public school for fifty years. There was a college within a mile of that man ’a home, to say nothing of a splendid high school equipment. Instead of first, we stand fifth or sixth among the nations f in literacy. The average American eitiren has the intelligence of a ehild with a sixth grade education!.” Dr. Willett declared that the three needs he had named but had covered the ground, and that he wished he had time to tell the students of the democracy, which this coun try ought to, but has not realized, impulse in the educational centers of modern America, of the need of co operation in religion and industry and ■ the social and political life of the coun try. The speaker warned the young men and women that they were the ones on whose shoulders this responsibility will soon rest, and that they must be in the thick of the fight. Henry the Fourth’s Bebuke “In Paris!” said Dr. Willett, “there stands a statue of Henry the Fourth of Navarre, whose rebuke to a slacker favorite, who preferred the joys of ten nis with the women of the court to the rendering of his duty to his monarch in the turmoil of war. is still famous, ‘My dear Comte, go hang yourself: we were fighting yesterday, and you were not there!’ Never, young men and women, permit yourself to be for a moment, in | the years to come, in a position where | you will hear the voice of your God j and your Conscience, saying to you. I “There is fighting in this republic of ours, and you are not there!” Miss Joanna James, a freshman in the school of music sang. NEXT ALL-UNIVERSITY HIKE PLANNED FOR FEB. 18 Dean Bovard to Have Charge of Trip; Condon Club Plans for Many Excursions in Future February 18 is the date set by the Condon club for the next All-Univer sity ITike, according to Hubert Schenck, ■who is chairman of a committee which is planning future trips under the auspices of the club.
