which it revolves around the sun,
there would be no difference in the
character of the year from one end to
the other. In fact, only astronomers
would be aware that there was such
a period as a year.
1t would be perpetual summer in
the central belt Of the globe, extend
ing far north and south Of the equator
and perpetual winter around both
poles. There would be no change of
season anywhere. But. owing to the
inclination of the earth's axis, first
one hemisphere and then the other
leans toward the sun, and thus an
alteration Of summer and winter con-
ditions is brought about regularly be-
tween the two hemispheres, and ev-
erybody has very vivid impression
Of the period called year, because
it consists of a recurring succession
of seasons.
The problem then, is to choose
among the seasons proper point for
starting the year. There are only two
fundamental seasons, winter and sum-
mer, spring and autumn being SIM
ply transitional periods between them.
The natural points of division be-
tween the summer and winter halves
OF the year are the equinoxes--i. e.,
the times when the sun crosses the
equator going from one hemisphere
into the other.
At what we call the spring, or
yernal equinox, the sun crosses the
equator coming northward. and from
that time springlike conditions begin
to manifest themselves in our hemi-
sphere. Day and night are at this
point equal in length all over the
earth, but as soon as the equinox is
passed the northern days begin to
grow longer than the corresponding
nights. This is the time when, if l
had the regulation of such things, |
would have the calendar year begin.
1t would be in itself no novelty. The
ancient Roman year began at the
spring equinox, and its first month.
March, had the distinction, as Momm-
sen points out, of being the only
one named for god-Mars. The
names of the Immediately succeeding
months we're very significant: Aprilis,
from word signifying to open or
sprout; Maius, from a word meaning
to grow, and Junius, from word ex-
pressing the idea Of thriving. ...
The appropriateness OF the thought
underlying all this seems so evident
that one is surprised that all civilized
peoples, in all ages, have not begun
the year at the spring equinox. One
would at least have expected it from

brated and placed on the calendar at
the moment when the earth reaches

delphia.
We get into deep waters when we
begin to NEEDLE with the calendar.
But if change we're to be made,
| should favor taking the spring equi-
nox instead OF the winter solstice for
the starting point OF the year.
1t seems to me that it should be
more logical to start the year when
all nature, in the northern hemis-
phere, which must always be by far
the more populous half of the earth,
is awaking to renewed life and activ-
ity, than to start it in the midst of the
dead season and in the chill of win
ter.
However, there is something to be
said in favor Of beginning at the win
ter solstice (about December 2l), for
then the sun is just reversing his
course and starting northward once
more. In that sense, the passing of
the winter solstitial point by the sun
marks the resurrection of the year
for us who dwell north of the equator.
But the trouble is that there is no
synchronous, or simultaneous, phe-
nomenon, evident to everybody, which
serves to indicate when the solstice
is passed. For long time the sun
comes northward with deliberate
pace, and the nights shorten but
slowly, while the intensity of the cold
and the severity OF the winter storms
continue to increase for a month or
six weeks, often extending far into
February.
This question OF the proper time for
starting the year has always bothered
mankind more or less, because it is
like trying to find the beginning Of a
circle. What is a year, 1t is the
period of the suns apparent revolu-
ton around the earth, produced by the
earth's real revolution around the
sun.

Come now. let us reason together.
Wherefore, therefore, should we rea-
son together? Matter enough We
are assembled on this great occasion
to discuss the principles OF society,
No one denies that society has prin-
ciples-good ones, too, that are in
constant use. Why, only the other
night-but that is the story.
You see, New Years eve fell upon
Sunday this year. That was sad. be-
cause what could society do to while
away the time until midnight. OF
course, il might go TO the theater,
but what does that amount to- That
is so usual and dull, because person
can only sit still and be entertained,
and who wants to sit still forever
OF course society might eat, but then
no mortal can eat eternally and eat
ing gradually pals on one. Or, OF
course, there's always cards, but when
you're out in public you don't sit
around playing cards--anyway, not on

tation to maudlin revelry had some

was a flaw in that, too For who
would think of dancing on Sunday?
Wasn't that too vexatious! But there
was nothing to be done about it. Sun
day night was Sunday night, and so
society twiddled its thumbs, went to
the theater, ate and listened to the
music until the sirens began to blow
