such as those Of the japanese.
First Used Pictures
THE earliest written records were
made in pictures which represented
things and actions. Abstract ideas
could be suggested only in the crud-
est roundabout way. After CEN
turtles of use these pictures became
conventionalized into symbols, such
as the kilograms of the Egyptians,
and the Mayas of America: and
some of those still used In China to-
day.
THE next step was a marked de-
parture from the previous develop

one. 1t was to represent by symbols
not the things themselves, but in
stead the sounds OF the spoken word.
For the first time man wrote his
language as he spoke it. The sounds
OF entire words were sylnbolized at
