Abstract

This is a discussion of the ESP phenomena, as carried on by Rhine of Duke University. The writer suggests that in some such communication, the main point of contact between 2 fields is the emotional involvement in what is occurring. He suggests that Ss be trained as "mediums"; that participants in experiments be those with a good education and a belief in paranormal phenomena; that the leader of the group be a professional medium; that a tape-recording be kept of all words spoken at each session, and after the session is over, that each participant write down his statements before hearing them of others; and, finally, that a sympathetic observer be present at each session, who could be changed each week if desired. The medium should have a free hand in respect to method and atmosphere. The writer feels that this procedure would make ESP experiments more scientific.
