This is the nineteenth century,
though many insist that with the be-
ginning Of the year 1900 begins the
twentieth century II is fact that the
leading educators OF the United States
differ as to when the twentieth century
begins. A majority declare that the
beginning of the new century will be
on the first day Of the year 1901. This
appears TO be clear to all who take
the time TO think It over. One hun
dred years make century. The first
century began on the first day Of the
year !. That century was completed
when one hundred years had elapsed,
or the last day OF the year 100 The
second century began January 1. 10l
the third January !, 2ol. and ia this
manner up TO The present time From
this explanation it Is evident that
nineteen hundred years viii not have
been completed until midnight OF De
cember 81. 1900. and January l. 1901
will be the first day Of the twentieth
century.
