The women referred to are Mrs. John H. Curran, wife of the former Immigration Commissioner of Missouri, and Mrs. Emily Grant Hutchings, wife of the Secretary of the Tower Grove Park Board in St. Louis, both ladies of culture and refinement. Mrs. Curran is a young woman of nervous temperament, bright, vivacious, ready of speech. She has a taste for literature, but is not a writer, and has never attempted to write anything more ambitious than a personal letter. Mrs. Hutchings, on the other hand, is a professional writer of skill, and it was to her quick appreciation of the quality of the communications that the starting of the record is due. It was soon apparent, however, that it was Mrs. Curran who was the sole agent of transmission; for the communications came only when she was at the board, and it mattered not who else sat with her. During the first months only Mrs. Curran and Mrs. Hutchings sat, but gradually the circle widened, and others assisted Mrs. Curran. Sometimes as many as five or six would sit with her in the course of an evening. Mr. Curran has acted as amanuensis, and recorded the communications at most of the sittings, Mrs. Curran’s mother, Mrs. Mary E. Pollard, occasionally taking his place. The ouija board is a rectangular piece of wood about 16 inches wide by 24 inches in length and half an inch thick. Upon it the letters of the alphabet are arranged in two concentric arcs, with the ten numerals below, and the words “Yes” and “No” at the upper corners. The planchette, or pointer, is a thin, heart-shaped piece of wood provided with three legs, upon which it moves about upon the board, its point indicating the letters of the words it is spelling. Two persons are necessary for its operation. They place the tips of their fingers lightly upon the pointer and wait. Perhaps it moves; perhaps it does not. Sometimes it moves aimlessly about the board, spelling nothing; sometimes it spells words, but is unable to form a sentence; but often it responds readily enough to the impulses which control it, and even answers questions intelligibly, occasionally in a way that excites the wonder and even the awe of those about it. Its powers have been attributed by some to supernatural influence, by others to subconsciousness, but science has looked upon it with disdain, as, until recent years, science has looked upon nearly all unprecedented phenomena. Mr. W. T. Carrington, an eminent English investigator of psychical phenomena, in an exhaustive work upon the subject, has this to say of the ouija board: “Granting for the sake of argument that the board is moved by the sitter, either consciously or unconsciously, the great and vital question still remains: What is the intelligence behind the board, that directs the phenomena? Whoever sets out to give a final and decisive answer to this question in the present state of our knowledge will have his task cut out for him, and I wish him happiness in the undertaking. Personally I am attempting nothing of the kind.”

Perhaps if it were not for the scholarly Casper S.Yost, the writing of Patience Worth might never have been brought to the public eye. It was Casper Salathiel Yost who published the first book about Patience Worth which provided a brief history of the coming of Patience Worth and a sampling of her poetry and prose as well as his interpretations of some of it. His small book was titled "Patience Worth: A Psychic Mystery" and was published by Henry Holt and company in 1916. It was due to this book that the writing of Patience Worth gained some degree of notoriety attracting the attention of other newspaper men, doctors, lawyers, psychologists and college professors. Other books would eventually be written about Patience Worth and Pearl Curran over the next 100 years or so, but it was Casper Yost, with his gentle trust and belief that Patience Worth was a spirit of a woman who lived 250 years ago, who presented the story of Patience Worth in a simple non-scientific way that enabled Patience Worth to gain a substantial readership during the early 20th century. It helped of course that Casper Yost was the Editorial Director of the St. Louis Globe Democrat. He was an accomplished writer himself having written several books among which were "The Carpenter of Nazareth," "The Making of a Successful Husband; Letters of a Happily Married Man to His Son" and "The Principles of Journalism." "The compiler of this book is not a spiritualist, nor a psychologist, nor a member of the Society for Psychical Research; nor has he ever had anything more than a transitory and skeptical interest in psychic phenomena of any character. He is a newspaper man whose privilege and pleasure it is to present the facts in relation to some phenomena which he does not attempt to classify nor to explain, but which are virtually without precedent in the record of occult manifestations. The mystery of Patience Worth is one which every reader may endeavor to solve for himself. The sole purpose of this narrative is to give the visible truth, the physical evidence, so to speak, the things that can be seen and that are therefore susceptible of proof by ocular demonstration. In this category are the instruments of communication and the communications themselves, which are described, explained and, in some cases, interpreted, where an effort at interpretation seems to be desirable."

This is a new and strange book, new, because it comes in a way a book was never known before to 'have come, and strange, because the stuff that has come in this way before has been so unworth publishing. Two women had been amusing themselves with the Ouija board for some time. In July, 1913, "the pointer suddenly became endowed with an unusual agility, and with great rapidity presented this introduction, 'Many moons ago I lived. Again I come. Patience Worth my name.'" The book contains the conversations, stories, proverbs, poetry and prose that have been delivered through Mrs. Curran by "Patience Worth," a second personality. Mrs. Curran is alleged to be a woman of refinement and culture, who had up to the time of this first deliverance made no pretension to writing. She, however, lives in company with people who have shown literary talent. The author is editorial director of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, which is a sufficient guaranty of the honesty and literary appreciation which he claims for the contents and quality of the book. There are two aspects from which the book may be viewed, the psychological (not psychic) phenomenon of a person writing connected discourse on the Ouija board and the literary character of the productions that have been made. The author dismisses the first point of view as being of small interest, with the affirmation that the phenomenon of writing on a Ouija board has become so common as to excite little interest or comment, and he devotes his time to the literary productions themselves, their quality and content. The first point of view is the proper one. What is needed is a psycho-analytical treatment of Mrs. Curran, and of the author, too, for that matter. The psycho-analyst must find the author "tinged" with mysticism; there are unmistakable marks of thorough acquaintance on his part with the literature of "psychic phenomena." Mrs. Curran should have a careful and penetrating scrutiny by the psycho-analyst. In her he must find the secret of these productions many of which have real quality and worth. Their value merits publication. But as a double personality Mrs. Curran does not present such novel features as are claimed for her. While it is usual for second personalities to appear in such maudlin guises as French doctors, or Indians wenches, Patience Worth, speaking in archaic forms of speech and sixteenth-century English, presents only a new and more respectable guise. The critical reader of her productions cannot avoid the annoyances at her archaisms more than the usual visitor at a spiritual séance can escape annoyance at the dialectic gabble of the French doctor. The reviewer believes that Mrs. Curran is quite capable of producing such things in herself. That she should choose to appear in such a guise is the point of interest for morbid psychology. Her real soul seems stricken with fright at appearing upon the stage of literary activity and so finds in a guise greater ease of acting. Many actors can do their best work only behind some assumed mask and many literary people must adopt a nom de plume. -The Homiletic Review, Vol. 72 [1916]
