Following is a history 'of how our
present calendar came to be estab
lished;
The Egyptions determined the true
length of the year—365.242 days-
and divided it into 12 months of 30
days each. The five extra days (or
six days in leap year) were devoted
to festival holidays.
After the conquest of Egypt, Julius!
Caesar, in 46 B. C., adopted thcj
Egyptian calendar for the Roman'
empire, except, it is stated, he didj
not continue the equal months of the
Egyptians. He distributed the five
extra days throughout the year by
adding one to every other month.

The calendar of the two Caesars,!
Julius and Augustus, was based upon
a 365.25 day year, with a leap year
every fourth year. The actual year is

was accumulated every year. By
1582, the accumulation had amount
