Children do not drift into a working knowledge of mathematics or physical sciences. And the adult who recognizes Christian Science as the Science of being will find definite ways to help the children to learn this Science.
The Bible gives us an important clue to method in the words of Paul to Timothy (II Tim. 2:15), "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Study is a basic necessity for the demonstration of any science. Following the advice of school counselors, the child who studies the science courses finds time and place for home study and has regular periods for instruction and laboratory demonstration. As we help our children to study the divine Science of Life, Christian Science, we shall be led by God, divine Mind, through reason, inspiration, and revelation to follow some orderly pattern of study which will hasten the child's practical demonstration of Christian Science—the healing work which is the sacred laboratory work of divine Science.
