Excerpt from The Great Work in America, Vol. 1: February, 1926 Very recently my attention has been called to a subject of profound importance which had not impressed itself upon my consciousness to any considerable extent until within the last few months. I refer to the large number of inquiries that have come to me from all parts of the United States, and from a number of foreign countries as well, concerning the Great School of Na! Ural Science, as a definite physical and tangible institution. Whilst these inquiries cover a very wide and diversified range of subject matter, they have not impressed me with the feeling that the various inquirers are inspired by any abnormal or unwholesome phase of mere curiosity or inquisitiveness; but rather, they seem to me to be impelled by an earnest desire to come into a fuller knowledge of the great source of knowledge from which they have been drinking, and to learn something of the School back of it all.
