It is important to realise that Dr. Rhine is no psychic investigator in the usual sense of that word. He started his ESP work under the most carefully controlled conditions in an effort to test the assumption common. among philosophers that nothing enters the buman mind except by way of the senses. Many people have never accepted this view, and hence the frequently re- lated stories in which "second alght" and tragle premonitions play their part..

The worst of that kind of data is that their value is usually purely picturesque or literary. Dr. Rhine, Ilke most people, was interested in these reported exceptions of the classic rule that minds cannot com- muniente directly, but felt, he had to verify the existence of this faculty under, sophistlented alleged conditions.
