Calendar By 1928 Likely Says Scientist 13 Month Year Favored
Dr F Yanney, professor of Mathematics and Astronomy, predicts adoption of a 13 month year with 28 days per month and one extra day per year, possibly by 1928. He traces calendar history from Roman 12 month system to Julius Caesar reforms and later adjustments by Augustus, noting the leap year mechanism and week structure as foundational.

Calendar Reform Debates Spur Plans for a Thirteen Month Year
Dr. Yanney outlines flaws in the current calendar including varied month lengths and weekly misalignment. He promotes two reform plans: the French four-quarter system with universal holidays and a thirteen-month year of four weeks, beginning each year on the same weekday, with extra days as holidays. A world congress may decide the global calendar direction next autumn and trigger national legislative steps.
