The Ant of Writing

2he prehistoric man had Ian gage and when he wished to put down tha language he could not, as 'here was no writing, As the uce' became greater they had to invent something that would stand for what they wanted to say. That was the beginning of writing. They made marks which meant certain things. Then the historic man had that writing and it to suit him. : hat writing came down thru the different ages with the chang es.
 The Egyptians had pictures to illustrate their writing of. hierog- lyphic and for this reason it is ca.led picture writing. From the Fgyp ptians it went to the Babylon iaDs and was developed into the cune'soIm. The PhOenicians then had 1t but it was not changed much. From Phoenici 1t was in troduced into Europe. The Egyp- tia1 system was the most potent in influencing the writing systems now employed though there is still q little doubt as to whether the cuneiform or the heiroglyphto is oj the greater antiquity.

Washington, August 1S.-With a
