Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Geologic Making of Southern Illinois Reduced to its last analysis. Science is the search for the reasons for things. Every man of science knows that every phenomenon in nature has a cause, a reason, and just as truly every phenomenon has an effect. The search for the causal relations of all these phenomena is his task. If he is unable to discover a reason for the facts which he observes, he does not appeal to some supernatural explanation he knows that his researches have not yet penetrated far enough into his problem. The men of science of our generation are those in whom the sense of curiosity concerning nature is most keenly developed. They are continually asking themselves the question, Why and are never satisfied until some reasonable and logical ex planation is found. Every child starts his career as an active researcher. He observes all sorts of phenomena about him which arouse his curiosity, and he repeatedly asks the question Whv All too often his questioning soon surpasses the ability of his parents and teachers to make answer and he is told not to ask such foolish questions. Doubtless many an able man of science has been lost through the stifling of childish question ing. Fortunately a few remain in whom this curiosity cannot be stifled, else the progress of our race would come to a stand still.
