Idea of Metric System Originated in France

The theory Of the metric system is
that meter is one ten-millionth part
OF the distance from the pole TO the
equator, which is a quadrant, or one
quarter Of the earth's circumference
The idea of a scientific standard Of
measures had been suggested as early
as the Seventeenth century, particu-
larry by the French astronomer, Jean
Picard. who HSed from 1920 TO 1852.
The suggestion took practical shape in
l1So. when the national assembly Of
France appointed q committee TO con-
slider the question. The committee re-
ported in favor of the standard being
the one ten-millionth part of a quad
rant of the aarth's circumference. A
commission was then appointed to
measure the quadrant In 1899 a re-
