TRACES HISTORY
Of SPIRITUALISN
Origin a Hoax and is Successful
Simply Because People Like
to be Fooled Says Dir. J. J.
Walsh.

Doctor James J. walsh Of New York
city addressed the students OF Notre
Dame university yesterday on spirit
ualism. At the beginning Of his talk
Doctor Walsh made a distinction be
tween spiritism and spiritualism, say
ing that the former signifed the accl-
dental and rare appearance or spirit
which is totally unexpected by men
and that spiritualism meant the mani
festatiOns OF spirits at the special re-
quest OF men. The first has occurred
at times in history but the truth Of
the latter is highly improbable.
Doctor Walsh then traced the his
tory of spiritual,sm. showing how it's
origin was "A hoax and that all the
subsequent teachings set forth by spir-
itualism were also frauds The speak
ers referred to the first evidences of
spiritualism that occurred in Egypt
and Syria long before Christianity was
established and then brought the dis
Cussion up To the foundation Of mod
ern spirituaIism by the Fox sisters
in Rochester. n Y
These women created a great deal
% attention for a time but were fin
ally exposed by Doctor Austin Flint
who discovered that they produced
their spirit rappings by properly
manipulating the bones and cords Of
their feet. The impOstOr Slade for q
long time caused even university pro
lessons 10 think that at last commun-
icatiOn had been established with the
world Of spirits. The Seibert com
mission proved that Slade was simply
a clever slight Of hand artist. He also
cited the case of Madame Paladino
who for a long time startled people
with the results OF her seances till She
was detected by conjurers in Boston
and denounced as false.
In conclusion Doctor Walsh stated
that "spiTitUalism is "A success schiehv
because some people wished to be
fooled and even when their beliefs are
proved TO be absurd they will not give
them up" This is Doctor Walsh's
first lecture at Notre Dame this fall.
In past years he has lectured on vari-.
Gus subjects among which are: The
Nervous System. Dante. "Leonar-
do di Ninci''. The Digestive Appa-
Tatus' and many others concerning
medicine, history, literature and edu-
cation. He is dean and professor of
nervous diseases at Fordham univer-
sity and professor of physiological
psychology at ST. Xaviers college in
New York.
