Mrs. Doi Speaks Mrs. Richard Dol, Ashland, guest speaker, talked about the evolution of .the Japanese language and illustrated her talk. Mrs. Dol said there are three general groups of Chi nese characters, and first il lustrated the pictographs or ideographs, these being the characters that were develop ed from simple pictures of ar ticles, and resembling these. Second are the characters that are pictorial presentations of ideas, such as the combination of the characters "woman1 and "child" combined into one meaning likableness. The third grouping is com posed of characters that have a "radical" symbol, this rad ical indicating the general categories of meaning to which the character belongs. She used the character for "tree" adding those for pine, cedar, etc., as an illustration. The'Japanese then evolved a simpler phonetic writing, Mrs. Doi said, these being "hiragana" and "katokana," the latter used for foreign words. She stated that the Chinese characters are used wherever possible to repre sent the nouns and the unin fected roots of verbs and ad jectives and Hirzgana is used for other elements which can not be represented by Chinese characters. The latest development is the "Romaji" transcription in which the English alphabet is used with the exception of those sounds which are not used in Japanese.
