Original Texts
Let's cast a glance at all those systems of communication in which speech plays no part. First and foremost among them, of course, is writing. In modern society, writing has become such an important and widespread means of getting your ideas across to others. It was not always so, however. Not too long ago, there was a time when most people did not know how to read and write. Curious reminders of that not very distant past are the barber-shop poles and cigar-store Indians.

「話す」という手段を除く、すべての伝達手段を見てみよう。その中で、最初に、そして一番重要な手段は、もちろん、書くことだ。現代社会において、書くことは、他の人に自分の考えを伝えるにあたり、重要で広く用いられている方法だ。しかし、いつの時代もそうであったわけではない。人が読み書きができない時代があったのは、そんなに昔のことではない。それがそんな昔のことではないと思わせるものが、床屋のサインとタバコ屋のインディアン達だ。
