From savage to citizen
Santa Ana, CA: Wycliffe Bible Translators, 1964. 24 unnumbered pages, staplebound booklet; very good. Distributed at the "Pavilion of 2000 Tribes" at the New York World's Fair, 1964-1965.
"Modern linguistic tools cut a clear, clean path through the jungle-like maze of unwritten languages. And their babel of unintelligible sounds may be captured in neat, well-defined symbols of a usable alphabet. Very soon these new-born letters march in disciplined lines across the pages of a primer—or a New Testament! By the application of the science of sound and symbol, written communication is now possible for the most primitive tribes on earth."
