How Michael Puj3ih' Succeeded "665
that Robert Andrew Millikan began
his scientific
career.
Pupin, this famous teacher of famous men,
exhorts boss everywhere to "monkey with
their sets."
"The more boys work with their apparatus,
the more knowledge of the science of electricity
they will obtain, and the more will their
interest in the marvels of radio be aroused,"
he says. "Radio is the coming science, and
if its disciples attain as much practical experience
and grounding in electrical principles as
is possible to crowd into their lives, they can
be sure of making progress."
During the war, Professor Pupin did research
work for the United States Government
in radio communication. His results became
government secrets and outside of the. fact
that his war activities necessitated many trips
to Key West, the world knows nothing of his
work. As a product of his activity at this
time, he helped organize the third arm Of our
national defence the National Research
Council, an organization of scientific men
with headquarters in Washington.
The story of America contains many epics of
boys who, beginning at the bottom, struggled
to the top, but none illustrates more clearly
than this one the chances for a penniless,
working boy to achieve a technical education
and to become a power in the scientific
world.
