Some seventeen years ago Dr. J-
B. Rhine of Duke University, hav
ing gathered together all the mea
ger evidence that existed Irom
tne past, set himself to apply care
ful, scientific method of the prob
lem of consciousness and man’s
mind. He developed a technique
susceptible of detailed analysis, and
started a series of experiments on
countless Human,subjects which has
gone on from that day to tnis, and
is still continuing. p j
Dr. Rnine got results. On the
basis of controlled experiment it
began to appear that mere was a
non-pnsrsicai factor in man’s mind

laws of its own and not in accord

early findings in ’“hew Frontiers

of controversy immediately snook
the scientific world.
He was attainted by orthodox
psychologists Whose science was

Dr. Rhine has tound out many
things since those early days.
This book is the story of what
was tound, and how each finding
led to another,land how each one
increased the evidence. iMi
A few of the things that have contain the
been scientifically proved by Dr.
Rhine’s Work Can be brieily and
startlingly named. Without, sen
sory aid, the communication of
thought from one mind to another
is a common human capacity,' So is
clairvoyance, the ability to perceive |
external physical objects. Distance j
has no eafeCt bn either capacity:
Both telepathy and clairvoyance |
can be shown to operate in the fu
ture as well as in the present and
the past. Thus time has no eflect
on them and there is such a thing
as precog’mtionL ’
Most remarkable of all, it is
shown in this book that a force
of the mind of a non-physical or-||
der can produce a physical etiect
upon an ob,eci. Furthermore, the
etfectiveness of the force has no
relation to the size of the object
or the number of objects.
' These proofs are revolutionary.

Early in the nineteenth Century
Liberia began as q series of tiny
colonies ot freed American slaves
on the west coast 0^ equatorial Af-
tica. With practically nothitig at
their disposal but ydurage the Set
tlers ma.ntained themselves, began
to work out friendly relations Wuh

Ninety percent of its people'are
tribe members, but all, women as
well as men, are Citizens of .the
republic and cast their votes in free
and regular elections.

and a tragic story’, but the great
