Utah Territory was a true "melting pot." Mormon converts gathered in Utah from many countries, bringing different languages and customs. A uniform phonemic alphabet would assist everyone in learning English language skills. The special alphabet would be a common element to help unite a diversified people. One early goal of Mormonism was to create a perfect society. Certainly a perfect. Adamic language like the one spoken before the Tower of Babel would be one of the best tools for the development of a City of Enoch society. RIDGE IS a senior at Davis High, on the honor roll, on the tennis team, involved in semnary. He enjoys tennis, golf, basketball, school, fishing, hunting and especially people. For his Eagle service project, he organized a Santa-Ai- d project for two families. With the members of Scout Troop 356. and along with the special neighborhood help of the Kaysville 15th Ward, the project was very successful. COMMITTEE to create this Deseret Alphabet" was organized and the territorial legislature appropriated $3,000 for the project. The committee members were Parley P. Pratt. Heber C. Kimball and George D. Watt. Some research indicates Wilford Woodruff. Orson Pratt. W. W. Phelps, John V. Long and Robert L. Campbell also helped with the project. Because George D. Watt was familiar with the Isaac Pitman phonography system of shorthand that was based on sound rather than conventional spelling, he contributed greatly to the development of the Deseret Alphabet. By early 1854. the committee had created a alphabet that corresponded in value to the symbols of the more recent International Phonetic Alphabet with one exception--th- e Deseret Alphabet failed to have symbols for unaccented neutral vowels like a in about or e in stu- dent. THE CHARACTERS were taken from Pitman's works, the ancient alphabet letters listed in the front of Websters unabridged dictionary and other sources. The only Roman letters retained were C. D.

On January 19, 1854. a Deseret editorial praised the DeNews seret Alphabet by saying. "These characters are much more simple in their structure. ..every superfluous mark supposable is wholly excluded from them. ..We may derive a hint of the advantage of orthography from spelling the word eight, which in the new alphabet only requires two letters instead of five to spell it. vsiz: AT. There will be a great saving of time and paper.. .but a very small part of the time and expense will be requisite in obtaining a know ledge of the language. ..an ordinary writer can probably write a hundred words a minute wuth ease." lower-cas- e territorial legislature gave $2500 for the casting of type. The product was delayed until 1857 because of the Utah War. The Board of Regents of the University of Deseret announced in 1855 that Elder George D.

Parley Pratt transcribed the entire Bible and the Doctrine and Covenants into the Deseret Alphabet but they were never printed because of lack of funds. He also spent one month translating the Webster's Dictionary into the new alphabet. Because of the tedious nature of this task, it was abandoned. WITH PRINTED books accessinterest ible. there was in adopting the Deseret Alphabet. Classes were taught at the University of Deseret. In 1872 there were 206 alphabet classes being taught in the Sunday Schools of the territory. Orson Pratt could write 130 words per minute using this system.
