State EDUCATIONAL BOARD
Opposed to Exempting New
Orleans From Operations.
LEGISLATIVE Enactment REQUIRED
To Exempt City From School Board.
Practically No Railroad Construc-
tiOn Was Done During Last
Year.

From present indications a major
ity of the members of the State Board
of Education are opposed to exempt
ing New Orleans from the operations
of the State Board in selection of
school books. State Superintendent
Harris is opposed to the looping off
of New Orleans. THE school book
needs in New Orleans are the same as
throughout the. state, and by adopt
ing books for the entire state we get
about 40 per cent reduction in the
prices" he said when asked regard
ing the move. Remarks which Gov.
the State Board of Education would
indicate that he is opposed to remov-
ing New Orleans entirely from under
the control of the State Board.
About the only connection now"
said one member of the State Board,
''is, the check which New Orleans re-
ceives every quarter from the State
Department OF Education and the
adoption of the books to be used in
New Orleans as well as in other parts
of the state. The children of the
state could not begin to get their
books as cheap as they do now If
New Orleans adopted its own books,
and the balance of the state adopted
its books" 1t would take a legisla-
tive enactment to exempt New Or
leans entirely from the state Board,
and it is certain that during the next
legislature an effort in this direc-
tion will be made.

SHOWS CONTROL OF
MEDIUM IN TRANCE
Prof. Stephen de Lessard Proves
He Can Secure Answer to
His Question

OAKLAND. Nov. 1S.-Recent expert
phen de Lessard of st. Mary's college
have brought to light certain facts
hitherto unauthentiated in the realm of
psychic science.
Professor de Lessard has found that
after being placed in a state of clair
voyance a medium may become subject
to the influence of another hypnotic
impression.
fact We're performed in the presence of
number of students of the college.
The medium was placed in trance
and number of questions were writ
ten on slips of paper for her to answer
While these slips were being distrib-
uted the professor assured his students
that his own question, the nature of
which no one knew but himself would
be answered last of all.
AT the end of the seance, although
many persons still held up their hands
to be answered. the medium cried in
loud voice:
Il can not leave until I have adj
dressed Professor de Lessard. Your
question, professor, is of a complex
nature and 1t will be solved to the sat
isfaction of the many concerned after
good deal of trouble. 1t is now going
through a critical stage"
Professor de Lessard contends that
by thought transmission he was able to
control the medium, although she was
under the influence of another.
After the medium had come out of
the trance she was asked why she had
complied with Professor de Lessard's s
request. She said that an imperative
command. coming from an indefnabIe
power, had forced her to answer
Professor de Lessard said today.
This new phenomenon tends to show
that a medium in a state of cIafrvoy-
ance may be put either in a receptive
mood and register a new impression in
her brain cells, or that she is forced to
act mechanically at the exact moment
