The Fairy-Land of Science
·
Arabella B. Buckley

"Tongues
in
trees,
books
in
the
running
brooks
Sermons
in
stones,
and
good
in
everything."
And
now
we
come
to
the
last
part
of
our
subject.
When
you
have
reached
and
entered
the
gates
of
science,
how
are
you
to
use
and
enjoy
this
new
and
beautiful
land?
This
is
a
very
important
question
for
you
may
make
a
twofold
use
of
it.
If
you
are
only
ambitious
to
shine
in
the
world,
you
may
use
it
chiefly
to
get
prizes,
to
be
at
the
top
of
your
class,
or
to
pass
in
examinations;
but
if
you
also
enjoy
discovering
its
secrets,
and
desire
to
learn
more
and
more
of
nature
and
to
revel
in
dreams
of
its
beauty,
then
you
will
study
science
for
its
own
sake
as
well.
Now
it
is
a
good
thing
to
win
prizes
and
be
at
the
top
of
your
class,
for
it
shows
that
you
are
industrious;
it
is
a
good
thing
to
pass
well
in
examinations
,
for
it
show
that
you
are
accurate;
but
if
you
study
science
for
this
reason
only,
do
not
complain
if
you
find
it
full,
and
dry,
and
hard
to
master.
You
may
learn
a
great
deal
that
is
useful,
and
nature
will
answer
you
truthfully
if
you
ask
you
questions
accurately,
but
she
will
give
you
dry
facts,
just
such
as
you
ask
for.
If
you
do
not
love
her
for
herself
she
will
never
take
you
to
her
heart.
This
is
the
reason
why
so
many
complain
that
science
is
dry
and
uninteresting.
They
forget
that
though
it
is
necessary
to
learn
accurately,
for
so
only
we
can
arrive
at
truth,
it
is
equally
necessary
to
love
knowledge
and
make
it
lovely
to
those
who
learn,
and
to
do
this
we
must
get
at
the
spirit
which
lies
under
the
facts.
What
child
which
loves
its
mother's
face
is
content
to
know
only
that
she
has
brown
eyes,
a
straight
nose,
a
small
mouth,
and
hair
arranged
in
such
and
such
a
manner?
No,
it
knows
that
its
mother
has
the
sweetest
smile
of
any
woman
living;
that
her
eyes
are
loving,
her
kiss
is
sweet,
and
that
when
she
looks
grave,
then
something
is
wrong
which
must
be
put
right.
And
it
is
in
this
way
that
those
who
wish
to
enjoy
the
fairy-land
of
science
must
love
nature.
