INVENTION OF WRITING
Some Semetic Tribe Possessed an Al
phabet as Early as 800 B. C..

(From A Students Investigation)
Perhaps the most valuable invention
after the making of languages was that
of writing. Picture writing was the
first used by primitive man, such as
was and still is used by the Indian
tribes of the New World. The char
acters in this system for writing were
pictures of objects very crude in art,
as, for instance, the picture of the eye,
to indicate the organ of sight; and
then again symbols for ideas were
drown, such as a picture of an arc,
representing the sky, and Wavy lines
beneath, thus indicating rain. This
system of representing ideas and OBJ
jects which is the most natural to man
lis known as Geographic, and the signs
are called kilograms.
When the picture writer used SYM
bols to represent the sounds of the hui
man voice, that is, words, and not OBJ
jects or ideas, he took great step in
perfecting the system of writing. When
symbols are used to represent words
the ideogram becomes a phonograo1
and the writing is called phonetic OF
sound writing.
The Babylonians and the Assyrians
used characters to represent syllables
instead of words, thus reducing the
number of signs used in their writing
to few hundred. When characters OF
symbols are used to represent sylla-
bles they are called syllable phono'
grams, and a collection of such signs
is called syllabary.
But still this system was clumsy
and final step was taken in the max
ing of an alphabet, the symbols being
used to represent elementary sounds
of the human voice instead of sylla'
bles. The symbols then became trut
letters, a collection of which is callet
an alphabet, the writing alphabetic.
When and whore the first alphabe
was made is not known, but severa
Semitic tribes were in possession o.
an alphabet as early as the ninth cen.
fury, B C. 1t may truthfully be saii
that the history of man begins here
for without an alphabet record, dates
names, and events could not have beer
recorded and preserved for us.
