dropped from the calendar, and adopted the present rule for THE CALENDAR Leap Year. It is said that Gregory's purpose was to keep the © The Egyptians determined the true length of the year— 365.242 days and divided it into 12 months of 30 days each. The 5 extra days (or 6 extra days in Leap Year) were devoted to festival holidays. The month was divided into three 10-day periods. After the conquest of Egypt, Julius Caesar, in 46| B.C. adopted the Egyptian calendar for the Roman Empire, except, says George Eastman, that he did not continue the equal months of the Egyptians. He distributed the 5 extra days throughout the year by adding one day to every other month, January. March, May. July. September and November, and took one day off February. In 28 B.C., Augustus Caesar, in order to have as many days tn the month of his birth (August) as there were in the birth month of Julius Caesar (July) and also to be known in history as having altered the calendar, moved the 29th day of February to August. Property owners who rented by the quarter objected to the unequal quarters caused by his change, as there would have been 90 days in the first quarter and 93 in the third. Augustus compromised by moving September 3Ist to October 3st. That caused two 31-day months to come together, and a further change was made by moving November 3lst to December 31st. The calendar of the two Caesars, Julius and Augustus, was based upon a 365-25 day year, with a Leap Year every fourth year. The actual year is 365.242 days, therefore, .008 of a day was accumulated every year. By 1582, the accumulation had amounted to 10 days, and Pope Gregory XIII in that year ordered the 10 days between October 5 and October 15 Equinox to the same day of the year. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced into England and her colonies in 1752 at which time the Equinox had retrograded II days since the Council of Nice in A.D. 325, when the rule for Easter Day was established and the Equinox occurred on March 21; hence September 3, 1752, was called September 14, and at the same time the commencement of the legal year was changed from March 25 to January |, so that the year 1751 lost the months of January and February and the first 24 days of March. The difference between Julian and Gregorian Calendars is 13 days. The Mosaic 7-day week of the Hebrews was made legal by Constantine the Great in 321 A.D., when he adopted Christianity. The Romans used an 8-day week prior to the Christian Era. The eighth day was Market Day. The 7-day week was legalized by Constantine. The Pagan Sun's Day made the Lord's Day or Christian Sabbath. The International Fixed Calendar provides a year of 13 months of 4 weeks each, the weeks consisting, as now, of 7 days. The added month, to be called Sol, is inserted between June and July. Inasmuch as 13 months of 28 days constitute only 364 days, Eastman suggests an extra day at the close of the year, to to be known as Year-Day, dated December 29, as the eighth day in that week. In Leap Years, in the International Fixed Calendar what is now called February 29, would be Leap-Day, and, as such, would become June 29.
