itudeht Tosses Bottle Into
Ocean; Receives An Answer
(By Henry Wood III)
An experience that comes to
one out "of millions has been the
good fortune of Nicholas W.
Dockery, a student in the En
gineering school here at thei
University. The long arm of
fate picked up a tiny black ob
ject, tossed here and there by
the mountainous waves of the
Atlantic, carried it to a pretty
little beach on the coast of Bel
gium, Dlaced it in the hands of
a young French girl, and car
ried an answer back across land
and sea to "Nick" Dockery in
Chapel Hill. , '
Last August "Nick" was
crossing the Atlantic enroute to
Paris and a tour of Europe. As
the West-Ellare sisrhted the
English coast ,500 miles distant,
"Nick" played his "trump." He
enclosed a dollar bill and a note
in a long-neck Scotch bottle; in
the note he wrote his name, ad
dress, the date, the latitude and
longitude, and a request that if
this message should by some
chance come into anyone's pos
session, for that person to com
municate with him at once. He
carefully corked and sealed the
bottle, and hurled it into the
ocean.
"Nick" had completely for
gotten the incident until Mon
day, February 17, when he found
in his box at the . Sigma Chi
house, a strange letter with Bel
gium stamps, and postmark. It
was an answer to his fateful
message of the sea.
"Nick" has replied to the let
ter and is anxiously awaiting
word from his unseen corres
pondent on the other side of the
world.
The letter follows :

GLEE CLUB ON WAY TO
CONTEST IN NEW YORK
The University glee club left
Person hall early yesterday
morning in a large bus, making
the trip to Washington, D. C,
where they stayed over last
night at the Hamilton Hotel.
Today they will make the re
mainder of the trip to New
York. Tonight at 6 :30 they will
attend a ""dinner given for them
at the New. York Athletic Club
by W. A. Whitaker. Tomorrow
night the national intercollegiate
glee club contest will be staged

Mr. Nicholas W. Dockery,
Rockingham, N. C,
U. S. A.
My dear Mr. Dockery :
The winds of chance iave
blown me your unique, though
laconic, billet de boteille. And
let me hasten to add that the
same winds have blown you a4
unique . distinction whether
honor or not you shall decide
for yourself. But distinction it
certainly is, inasmuch as you
are the first person. to ever re
ceive a letter from me without
my first having met and become
more or less personally acquaint
ed with that person. I am not
the kind of a girl that you may
have supposed abounds in port
towns, who would gladly write
to what you Americans call "a
will o' the wisp," just so long
as the "will o' the wisp" wore
pantaloons.
But wind, and chance have
combined themselves in pres
enting to me your name and ad
dress, safely tucked down the
throat of a bottle, and curiosity
which by right and preroga
tive, all women possess--now
impels , me to address myself to
you, my vague and faraway . . .
what shall I say? ... Friend?
Not yet because I don't know
you, nor what you look like. You
may be a gay young Lothario, a
modern Don Juan. Youmay be
married! ur you may oe a
wrinkled old granddaddy, and
this missive may eventually
amuse your charming -grandchildren.
So, I dare not call
you my friend. However, you
shall be my "potential" friend.
So, I openly write you, leaving

Several articles of general in
terest are included in the cur

"Our Schools and Our Public,"
Dr. A. Monroe Stowe, professor
of education at Randolph Macon
Woman's College discusses the
attacks being made upon the
public schools, and considers the
work and duties of the school
today. Defining the task of the
elementary schools as not to fill
the mind of the pupils but to
"develop abilities needed in liv
ing," and that of the secondary
school "to help boys and girls to
become better acquainted with
themselves and the world in
which they live," Dr. Stowe em
phasizes the. need of ways and
means of accomplishing these
aims and, especially, of clearing
up misconceptions of the public
about the worth of the -public
school curriculum. '

ture in Good Will," N. C. New

Hecke Feature First
Meeting.

tion of the University's first
Pre-Law Association.
An interested group of 50
pre-law students met in Man
ning hall, and following an in
teresting program featured by
addresses by Professors R. D.

activities which will give them
the best background for the
study of law.
Membership is open to all stu
dents seriously contemplating
the study of law, or desirous of
giving the profession considera
tion before making up their
minds definitely.
At last night's meeting Dean
C. T. McCormick expressed un
qualified approval of the. move,
declaring that law is not a sepa
rate entity, but one branch of
social science, which is becoming
more and more interlocked with
history, politics, economics, psy
chology and even the natural
sciences, which more and more
is requiring a broadened back
ground for the successful prac
tioner. ; ' . .. .',.
Waddell Gholson explained the
purposes of the proposed organ
ization, and as president of the
Law School Association pledged
the whole-hearted support of
that body to the movement.
In line with the proposed key
note of future programs, Pro
fessors Connor and Van Hecke

latingly of the value of history

Davis Lectures To
v William Cain Club
At the meeting of the William,
Cain student chapter of the A.
S. C. E. held last night in Phil
lips' hall, C. R. Davis, a senior
in the school of engineering, pre-. 1
sented an illustrated lecture on
"The Westchester County Park"
System."
In the lecture Mr. Davis traced
the development of the splendid
park system of over 448 square
miles in Westchester county,
New York. By means of lan-.
tern slides he illustrated the re-
clamation of swamp areas and
the development of these areas "
into parts of the park system.
As a part of the park pro
gram, a parkway was built a
long the Bronx river, the flats
at Rye were filled, a low area
was dredged to form a lake, and
a 4,000 acre forest preserve was .
established at Poundridge. The ;
unusual part of the entire sys
tem is that it was entirely self
sustaining during the past year.
