  It's possible you disabled that by yourself :

In startup.el:

  ;; Maybe display a startup screen.
  (unless (or inhibit-startup-message
              noninteractive
              emacs-quick-startup)
    [...]
    ;; If *scratch* is selected and it is empty, insert an
    ;; initial message saying not to create a file there.
    (when (and initial-scratch-message
               (equal (buffer-name) "*scratch*")
               (= 0 (buffer-size)))
      (insert initial-scratch-message)
      (set-buffer-modified-p nil))
    [...]

  Haven't you set inhibit-startup-message to t ?
