head of the department of psychology at the
University of Oregon, who has taken spc-

Out of 904 answers, 2S per cent actually
remembered having had the experience. most
of them just before adolescence, at the age
of eight or twelve years.
If Opal's story of her substitution is dis
carded as merely a prolonged instance of the
foster child fantasy the mystery of her
diary is by no means solved. Admittedly she
was precociOus child, but her diary shows a
familiarity with historical and traditional
terms that cannot be thus explained For

Hilda began composing long before she
could write. One day she came running to
her mother with her face all agIow with
excitement:
Mother she said, ~ have made a song
for you" And she repeated the words of it;
and her mother thought they were good
enough to be preserved, so she wrote them
down and kept them; and as Hilda, from
that day, continued the practice of making
verses, her mother continued to put them
down until they were numerous enough to
fill a book. But not once did Mrs. Conk-

composed and sang so prettily were being
preserved. Not until they were published
was Hilda ever made aware of the per-
