Abstract

IF one may judge by the publications before us, the question of reforming the calendar has made considerably more headway in the United States than in Great Britain. The American National Committee was formed in response to a suggestion received in 1927 from the League of Nations. From the beginning, Mr. George Eastman, of the Eastman Kodak Company, took a keen part in its organisation, and became its energetic chairman. The composition of the committee was fairly representative of all interests, with one rather significant exception. It was not found practicable to include a section to represent the views of the various religious bodies, and the attempt was frankly abandoned.
