REFOBM OF THE CALENDAK. ' N. & Q.'
has contained many notes on changes and
reforms in the calendar, therefore it may be
well to put on record the following, which
appeared in The Daily Telegraph of 24 Febru-
ary :
REFORM OF THE CALENDAR. A NEW BANK HOLIDAY.
Mr. R. Pearce's bill for the reform of the calendar, the text of which was issued yesterday, has for its object the regularising of the quarters of the year, the adjustment of the days of the week and of the month, and the fixing of Easter Day and other Bank Holidays and dates depending upon Easter.
To this end the first day of the year will be a Bank Holiday, called New Year's Day, but it is not to be reckoned as a day of the week or of the month or quarter. In other words, it will dis- appear from the calendar, and Jan. 2 will become Jan. 1.
The effect of this arrangement will be that the year will consist of 364 days, and hence will be divisible into four equal quarters of ninety-one days each, and into fifty-two weeks of seven days each. Each quarter will contain exactly thirteen weeks, divided into two months of thirty days each and one of thirty-one. Each day of the month will always fall on the same day of the week.j
