JOURNAL OF CALENDAR REFORM By this Journal we understand that World Calendar will come in effect, January 1, 1956.
By this improved calendar every year will be the same; the. quarters are equal; each quarter has exactly 91 days: 13 weeks; months; each quarter is repeated four times. Each month has set dates in all the years.

Most supporters of a revision will be content to remedy only the more important ones: The minor ones should never the less be listed here, if only to make our record complete: Such as: The Christian Era, as we observe it, is subjected to some criticism It does not correspond exactly with the date of Christ birth. Astronomers say it does not go back far enough for many of their calculations: therefore, they use the Julian period and a series of numbered Julian days in many of their tabulations. The Gregorian rule for intercalating the leap year days is not completely accurate. But the slight error here will not accumulate into a full day for about 3000 years, and no useful purpose would be served by changing it at this time especially as it is so remarkably simple and convenient. Many scholars object to the names of the last four months September, October, November and December, whose inconsis.
