The Harvard Dental School was es-
tablished in 1867, and year by year it has
increased the severity of its require
ments, both for entrance and gradua-
ton. In 1904 the entrance examinations
will be held in Cambridge for the first
time, and will be the same as those TAX
en- by applicants for admission to other
departments of the university. The
course is three years, and eventually d

brain, while the subjective mind is a
distinctive entity, possessing independ-
ent powers and functions, having men
tai organization of its own and being
capable OF sustaining an existence inde-
pendently of the body. In other words,
it is the SOUL
This grasped, much light is thrown
onto the subject when we understand
that the subjective" mind (the term
is used to prevent confusion) is inca
pablo of inductive reasoning, and Is
completely under the control of sugges-
tion. The subjective" mind which rea-
sons only deductively from what il is
told ffor it accepts as absolute fact
every Impression conveyed to 4 log
ical issue. often reaches the most i'm
probable conclusions. And it is con-
trollable by its own objective mind. as
well as by the objective mind of others.
The clairvoyant medium. therefore. may
be described as the man who has the
power to raise the information pos
sessed by his subjective" mind to the
threshold of his consciousness-his ''ob-
jective" mind. It should be understood
that the power of thought rransferrenG1

as before said, raise them to the thresh
old of their own consciousness. The
facts thus discovered once unfolded to
the objective senses of the listener at
once are understood as truths.
The subjective" mind is most active
when the objective mind is dethroned, as

ty from our subjective mind to that of
the person or persons most interested? !?
Surely this is the fact, perhaps. in every
case, though not always are such mes
sages raised to the conscious mind of
the receiver.
In events such as the one de-
seribed of Foxwell the receiver of the
message visits a medium The me-
dium at one sees the scene of the dis
aster. He reads the stricken mind of
the wife and finds hidden in the store
house of her subjective mind the mes
sage flashed TO IL in the moment OF
death. He tells her of the picture. even
to the most minute details of her hus-
bands taking off. and. as-in this case,
projects the vision of horror on the
. crystal sphere. 1t is here the sceptic
halts. and it is here that that mysteri-
Gus hypnosis plays its part.

and the subjective mind allowed to op-

the well authenticated cases of so
called spirit photography. which. despite

cause they are in doubt about them.
And it is well authenticated fact that
failure to produce psychic phenomena
is not only likely. but almost certain
where doubt exists. For this subject
i've" mind accepts as fact that doubt.
and it can reason only deductively from
that premise. Let the subjective" mind
be assured of the fact, and it will ac
cept it with the same certainty. Thus
it is that so much of the well-known
phenomena has been attributed by the
ignorant to spiritism. The medium has
been asked If the speaker is not John
Smith, long since departed" Immedi-
ately the reply has been yes the
subjective" mind accepting at once as
fact the suggestion that It Is the spirit
of the dead that Is talking. And it will
enter into the most spirited and logical
arguments to prove that such Is the
fact. Nor should 1t be taken as an evi-
dence of charlatanism that the medium
believes he is in direct communication
with the souls of the departed, for often
he is operating under laws. natural. but
which he does not understand He knows
of the existence of the phenomena and
has no hypothesis under which ne can
explain them other than that OF COM

MAGNIFICENT NEW DENTAL SCHOOL OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY

T HE plans for the new Harvard
Dental School are the first TO be
L definitely decided upon in the
s3.OO0,000 group of buildings
which is to give Harvard University the
best housed and equipped medical de-
partment in the country, and probably
in the world. Although the dental
school is to be located on the same
ground with the big medical school lot
in Brookline. Just beyond the Boston
line, 1t is only the professional rela-
tions of the two schools that have
placed it there. 1t in no wise benefits

from the great gifts of Mr.. John d.
Mr.. James Stillman, and Mrs. c. p.
Huntington-not to speak of the large
subscriptions which have come from a
score or more of prominent Bostonians-
so that separate movement is now
under way to complete the $500. 900 fund
that will be necessary for proper
structure. equipped in such n way as to
enable the school TO compete in all re-
spects with any OF its rivals, here or
abroad.
The Harvard Medical and Dental
Schools are. in their present quarters
about a mile apart. a distance which,
on account of the close connection be-
tween the two, gives rise to much Sc
rious Inconvenience which the new
buildings in Brooklne will overcome.
The plans for the new dental school
building show three stories of brick and
stone on a ground area $50 by 80 feet,
with an ell 20 by 30 feet. The general
style of architecture is Grecian. with
Corinthian pillars running the height of
the two upper stories. On the first floor
there are to be two lecture halls, a large
amphitheater. the library and reading
room, and the museum, wards. and of |

which the medical practitioner used to
treat, but which, under the modern de-
velopment of surgery, see INTO fall more
naturally to the dentist. Seemingly,
however, the strangest work of the
dental school is in making noses. an op-
Grafton which it is occasionally called
on to perform. But it will be under
stood that where the teeth or their i'm
mediate surroundings-like the lip, jaw,
and once in a while the nasal organs
are affected. treatment may best be un-
dertaken by a dentist who has had pre-
liminary medical training such as that
given by the Harvard school during the
first year of its instruction, and whose
practice tends daily to exercise his pro-
ficiency as a specialist not only in the
primary diseases of the mouth, but also
in certain others which are merely sec
ondary to these diseases. A curious il
lustration of this is that the hospitals of
Boston undertake fewer cases of frac-
tured jaw each year. sending them to
the dental clinics instead.
The Washington times., 1902-08-24

While the Harvard Dental School is
one OF the best known schools of its
kind in the country, it is not merely an
institution for training young men to be
competent dentists. It maintains an in
firmary for the treatment of the teeth
and diseases of the mouth and furnish
es free services, just as the great city
hospitals do, except in special cases
where nominal charge must be made to
cover the cost of expensive material.
An unusual and important feature of its
work is the free dental service at the
homes of the sick poor who are unable

that branch of that phenomena which
is so ably described in that interesting
work "Phantasms of the Living" which
in the proceedings of the Society for
Psychical Research ably demonstrate
the fact that scientific investigators of
modern time have proved that even
many of the ghost stories which have
Mortified the minds of the young for
ages past in many cases have had strong
foundation in. fact. A review of this
work will establish beyond doubt the
fact that phantasms of the dead as OF
the living. can be made apparent to the
OBJECTIVE senses. Many cases are on
record Mere so-called ghosts have been
viewed by several persons at one time
some of them beyond doubt in a normal
mental state. The conditions neces-
sary for the projection. of such phan-
tasms on the crystal are exactly those
that operate in the transferrence of
other phantasms made apparent in space
to the naked eye. ard are easily explain
able on the hypothesis established by
the theory of the dual mind when
coupled with the law of suggestion.
Prof. Hudson's Definition.
Once the theory Of the dual mind is
grasped and one understands the great
meaning of, the power of suggestion. all
of these so-called mysterious phe-
nomena easily are understood, and
lightning like glance is cast not only
into the subject itself. but into the
hitherto laughed at realm of psyche
therapeutic mind healing, which as a
religion fourishes under the name OF
Christian Science.
Hudson separates the mentality into
the objective" and the subjective"
minds. He clearly describes the dit
ference between the two as follows:
"The objective mind takes cognizance
of the objective word. Its media of OBJ
servation are the five physical senses
1t is the outgrowth of mans physical
necessities. II is his guide in his
struggle with his material environment.
Its highest function is that of-reason

A Simple Modus Operandi.

ner; he is irritable, gloomy. and pessi-
mistic, Awhile the conviction gradually
asserts itself that disaster is on the
tapis In later years, as the gift is de-
veloped. the mature clairvoyaut culti-
Yates his gift to such a degree that
his faculties are susceptible to. appar-
emily, the most trifiing influences. In a
sense. he becomes magnetic and 1t is
by this magnetism" that he is able to
absorb the thoughts of his subjects.
Crystal gazing is a development of
olairvoyanA. Instead of merely telling
he subject the picture which he sees in
his mind, the medium projects the pic

ltCi can see iUT HiIuStii UT HtISell WHdl

pen. The crystal is polished piece Of
rock crystal, generally OF considerable
value.
The modus operandi is simplicity it,
self. The clairvoyant seats himself op-
posite his subject and taking the crys-
tai polishes it, The subject takes it
in both hands. and holds II for a few
minutes. meanwhile fixing the mind on
the matter of moment. The clairvoyant
then reads the thoughts of the subject,
sees ''in his minds eye" certain eventu-
alities; pictures come up before his
mental vision and fade away, until at
length one is fixed firmly IN the mind.
He then fixes his thoughts on the crys-
tai. and as soon as the picture has faded
from his mind he takes the stone, wipes
II. and holds it under a strong light. 1t
is then that the picture which has been
formed by his mind can be seen on the
crystal if the subject is in the "subjec-
tive" state.
Great Danger in Experiments.
The great danger to humanity in al
lowing the subjective mind to gain
control over the objective senses has
been pointed out by the most eminent
scientists and physicians. Its danger
lies in the fact that the subjective"
mind has no power of reason by induce (!
ton. and it does not require vast
sweep of the Imagination to show under
such a system of life how far moral
degradation can reach. Much more Is 1t
evident then how dangerous 1t is 10 all =.
