13 MONTHS YEAR
FIRMS ADOPT CHANGE Rapid progress is being made in Canada, writes a recent visitor to the Dominion, with the adoption by firms of tile 12-montlis year, each month consisting of 2S days. One of the first firms to introduce the system was the Anglo-Canadian Pulp and Paper Mills, Ltd.—the undertaking established in Quebec by Viscount Rotliermere. Hundreds of corporations and banks are now adopting the system in Canada and the United States. The Canadian Manufacturers’ Association lias endorsed the chango and has sent resolutions in its favor to the Canadian Government and the League of Nations. The division of the year into 12 months of unequal length causes inconvenience and waste in business. Bookkeeping is simplified by the introduction of four weeks to the month, and there is saving of time, and labor. Firms who have adopted the system express satisfaction with it from every point of view.
The. year must always begin on a Monday to fit the 13-months calendar. National committees have been formed in several countries and the, League of Nations is collecting evidence, with the view of presenting a report on world opinion.
