question for a change so radical in
something that so vitality affects our

Here are extracts from some of the

One trouble with the Fisher calendar
has been expressed by many people,
and that is the matter of adjusting to
1t the movable ecclesiastical feasts,
such as Easter Mr. Fisher claims that
this may be done. and apparently IL
may. without repugnance to established
church customs. but the first change
would probably involve trouble. Eas-
ter, for example. depends upon. the
March full moon. The new March
would be quite different from the pres
ent March. and the change in the date
of Easter would therefore be a large
one However. there was change OF
a decade in Pope Gregory's time, and
it all narrows down to question or
degree. after all
In connection with this calendar, IL
is interesting to know that there Is a
movement on foot in England to make
the civil day more elastic. by adjust
ing its length to the varying periods
Of daylight during the different sea-
sons. This movement has gained
enough strength to have the following
bill introduced into parliament:

The awkwardness of the present call
the month fall on different days of the
week in different years; the month is
four weeks and a fraction long, in
stead of an exact multiple of a week:
and there are other bothersome things
with the Gregorian and Julian calen-
dars.
Several advantages are claimed for
the Fisher calendar. among them the
following:
1. The first day of every month will
fall on Sunday. and the last day Of
every month will fall on Saturday.
2. The first day of every year will
fall on a Sunday. and the last day of
every year will fall on Saturday
3. Thus every year. month and week
will commence on Sunday and end
with a Saturday.
4. The day of the month in each
