tional changes and operations, includ-
inr equally the first movements of

vegetation in the frozen arms Of Win
ter. Yet the earliest calendars. as the
Jewish, the Egyptian. and Greek, did
not place the commencement OF the
year ut this point. 1t was not done

dar, usually attributed to the second

that the year should commence now,
