There is a game that never ends and never grows dull. Call it Exploring Your Own Questions. Perhaps your teacher will play it with you. Each of you must bring from home a question which you cannot answer but would like to have answered. It may be a question that has never been answered. Now, or in later years, you may make the world better by finding the answer. Edison answered his own question when he found out how to turn electricity into light.
The question you bring to school may be answered by some pupil or teacher in the school, some adult in the community, some book in the school or elsewhere, or some person to whom you write. Several of you may wish to search for the answer to the same question. You may well spend much of your time in school finding, or learning to find, the answers to your own questions.
