Abstract
THE author indicates some minor changes that might be carried out without altering the existing calendar. He points out the inconveniences that arise from the present plan of arranging fixtures for (say) the “third Wednesday of the month.” Such fixtures do not come in a regular order; the second Tuesday may either precede or follow the second Wednesday. This system offers little facility for adjusting dates so as to fit each other with a minimum of clashing.
