Wilson’s Own Spiritual School

Within the year another quite extraordinary development in Wilson’s spiritualist career occurs: Wilson now opens her own lyceum, or, as she called it, her school. It might be identified as her next rise in, and the high point of, her local Bostonian prominence, were it not for an underlying sense that it marks a deep-rooted departure from the spiritualist mainstream and a consequent marginalization. It seems to be a bold and quite sudden change from her past involvements—one announced in the Banner in February 1883, with no advance publicity:

Notice. The first meeting of a Progressive School for children which is being formed in the Ladies’ Aid Parlors, met Sunday morning, February 4th, and will continue to meet there every Sunday morning. The children’s friend, Mrs. Hattie E. Wilson, with a few others, have undertaken to form a school that will aim to be both pleasing and instructive to the children, and hope to have the assistance of all liberal minded people to help them carry on the work. Children and friends of the children are cordially invited to meet with us next Sunday morning, and those who would like to take an active part or feel an interest in the undertaking, are invited to meet at the residence of Mrs. H. E. Wilson No. 15 Village street, next Friday evening, to offer any suggestions they may have to offer or express their views as regards the best mode of instructing the children that may favour us with their attendance. MRS. HATTIE E. WILSON47
