  George Herbert Mead: The Teaching of Science in College   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In the physical sciences the process of investigation involves the analysis of the objects, which are studied, into elements which are not present to immediate experience and which are with difficulty conceived and presented to the mind.
That is, it is increasingly difficult to state the problems of these sciences in terms of immediate experience; their problems do not arise of themselves in the consciousness of the student, in other words, he is not immediately interested in the study.
But even where the vernacular of the science is not that of mathematics, it is still true, to a large extent, that the field of the real problems in the science lies outside of the direct experience of the student.

 Theodor Reuss Ordo Templi Orientis 1906 Hermetic Science College I.N.R.I. Ancient Order of Oriental Templars
It is well known to all students Of the Ancient Mysteries, and of the various Occult Societies existing from time immemorial, that one of the most principal branches of the Sacred Hermetic Arts and Sciences was the Art of Healing.
In ancient times the mysteries of this magic art were inseparable from those of religion and philosophy and were preserved "hermetically sealed" in the adyta of the temple.
The Order is therefore intimately connected with the HERMETIC SCIENCE COLLEGE, established in England in pursuance of Article XV, Section II, of the constitution of the Order of Oriental Templars.

 Chapter Mary Baker Eddy's Church Manual & Church Universal and Triumphant-Ch. 5
Eddy wanted Science and Health to be in the public domain at the earliest possible time and she had made no provision for the 1906 copyright renewal, nor had she copyrighted the vital changes made in her last fourteen editions.
She wanted Science and Health to be given at once to the people, and expressed utter dismay at the prospect of any copyright legislation that would impede the greatest world-wide distribution of Science and Health, knowing that such legislation would do incalculable harm to the prosperity of her book.
She apparently believed strongly that the 418 editions of Science and Health should remain in the public domain, and that the 1906 should also be allowed to go into the public domain along with the 14 subsequent editions, having had 65 years of copyright protection.

 Christian Science
The Christian Science Christ is not the same as Jesus but equal to “The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error “(Eddy, 583).She even stated “Jesus is not the Christ” (Miscellaneous Writings p.84).
Christian Science continues to uphold her belief that Jesus revealed to people their illusion of illness and thus cured them, even though she was not cured and sought out a medicinal illusion.
Their publications are The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Sentinel, The Christian Science Journal, The Herald of Christian Science, published in 12 foreign languages as well as in English Braille; (which seems to be an oxymoron from their own beliefs) and The Christian Science Quarterly, containing the Bible lessons studied daily by Christian Scientists.

Even if infinite amounts of petroleum were available, the history of alternative energy sources is worthy of study from many points of view, not the least of which is the pragmatic need to understand alternatives to oil supply from politically unstable regions of the world.
