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. He is the
author of several books, including a
college text on physics which was writ
ten jointly with Professor R. A. Mil
likan, a text on radio communication
which was widely used during the war,
and more recently a popular description
of modern ideas as to matter and en
ergy, a book, dealing with the ultramic
roscopic electron.
In 1911 Mills gave up teaching to
enter the engineering department of the
Bell system. He was one of the engin
eers under Colonel ,T. J. CaTtv who de
veloped the transcontinental telephone
system between New York and San
Francisco, which was opened for ser
vice in 1914. Also as an engineer under
Colonel Carty and later Br. F. B. Jew
ett of the Western Electric company,
Mills was concerned with the 1915
demonstration of radio telephony be
tween Washington, B. C. and such
points as Paris and Honolulu.

N. Burston, supervisor of methods for
the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
Company of Portland. Mr. Burston is
interested in the business end of the
Telephone Company. \JThis afternoon in
the Commerce bxiilding he will meet
with a group of students of the school
of business administration to discuss
telephone problems.
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

auspices of the club. So successful was
the expedition last Saturday under the
leadership of Professor Edwin T. Hodge,
of the geology department that- many
others are being planned.
Dr. John Bovard, dean of the school
of physical education, will be in charge
of the trip which is being arranged for
February 28. All students in the Uni
versity whether members of the Condon
club or not are urged to join the party.
The object of such excursions, says
Professor Hodge, is not entirely for
the purpose of studying geological for
mations, the problems of natnre, and
the like, but it is intended that all
of those who go shall have a good time.
Other faculty men who will lead future
parties are: Dr. Lancefield, Professors
