Writing is one of the most marvellous things ever invented by man. Indeed our present civilization depends largely upon writing. But for it, the nations of the world would at this very state know little about one another and would still be in a state of ignorance and semi- savagery.
Who was the creator of this marvellous invention?
Some caveman most likely, a man in appearance more like an ape; yet a man who was filled with the desire to make some lasting record of the strange things he saw about him. This man was also the world's first artist, for the first writing was picture writing and took the form of pictures of the bears and stags and hares.
How do we know this, you may ask?
The answer is that in certain parts of the world there are caves on the walls of which such pictures may be seen drawn and painted many thousands of years ago. These ancient cavemen had minds like small children. Just as they drew pictures of things they saw in the world about them, so today, if you give a small child pencil and paper, he will draw pictures of horses and cows and men and women long before he learns to write.
