Many Organizations Agitating Change in Calendar; Religious Sects Are Strongly Opposed
Early Egyptian measured the year by the flood periods of the River Nile. A more accurate method came through sun worship especially in China, where observatories existed as early as 2000 B.C. The Greeks endeavored to relate the sun and moon and make each month begin with a new moon. The Romans developed a much more perfect system by having a bell rung at the beginning of each new month as at the beginning of the new year.
Chearan, proud and hangy, felt that the world should have something to remember his greatness by, so from the dittant month of February he took a day and added it to July to make him an emperor who was not to be outdone by his predecessor. February, shrieve weakened, was made to contribute another day which the Emperor added to August. This year with the 30 day vacation from home, many jobs worked well except for the fact that there was a change of

Bed Canacity Limited
isolation ward where contagious distances can be confined with a nurse. Isolation is secured in this hospital by closing the door of the room. There is no elevator server from the kitchen on the first floor to the third floor. A small dumb water run from the kitchen to the second floor, and the kitchen to the food on the stairs to the third floor patients three times a day.
Perhaps the worst handicap of the house-hospital is the limited bed capacity of 18 which can be stretched in a pinch—an extremely inconvenient situation. The hospital is located in the hospital[a] as was the case several times this winter, three beds
At the present time a number of organizations throughout the country are agitating for another change in the calendar. The proposed plan calls for a year with 13 months of 28 days and with one day left over. This would be a day of the week or the month, but is to be called New Years day.
about three days in 400 years. In the sixteenth century the seasons were not falling true, due to the error in calculation so Pope Gregory set to work and had the present system of keeping the calendar developed.
There is only one bathroom for each floor, so that men and women are forced to use the same toilet facilities. Nurse assistants are required for sleeping quarters for the nurses, who must live outside in room rented by the hospital admini-
Every fourth year a leap year day is to be introduced in the same way. The main objection to the plan is that it would not allow Christians to Holy Day and the religions of the world would oppose it for that reason. This difficulty can be solved, however, by adding a week but not of the month. Other opposition would come from the people selling calendars (or under the new system) if they fall on the same date every month.
must be placed in rooms that should never have more than two beds, and most of which ideally would contain only one.
When the capacity of the hospital is approached the problem of keeping it filled together become serious. Sometimes the patients must shift from one room and one floor to another, which, of course, is somewhat inconvenient for some patients.
In the time of the flu epidemic last year the limit of the hospital could be stretched no more than the overflow cases were placed in nearby rooms or other hospitals rented by the hospital. A few times this past winter student Bert died in bed in the hospital were confined to their rooms under the more or less efficient care of landlords, and the doctor treated them there. If worse comes to worse, as it has on several occasions, the operating room can be closed when of course, the sick person is removed when an operation is to be performed.
Building Inconvenience
A number of lesser inconveniences and inefficiencies result from having a person carelessly put something meant for such a narrowness. For example, one small bathroom on the third floor is made to do service as a toilet, a medicine and linen room and a kitchen. In this room, the dishes of contiguous disease patients are sterilized here, handages are prepared medicines
The part of the service of the hospital with which students are most acquainted is the dispensary. The result of a limited survey of dispensaries made by the staff of this hospital was favorable to the K. U. institution. It showed that in general students here were getting as much service as patients and in many cases they were getting more. The provision for unlimited consultations was an advantage over a great many student hospitals. The hospital here also owns a $2,000 X-ray machine and typhoid fever and typhoid fever are provided and during the typhoid fever scar this year $200 was spent on vaccine.
However, certain needs are evident in the dispensary here. The chief of those is a double consultation chamber so that one patient can be treated while a second is preparing for intermission. The patient would relieve students somewhat of long waits in the anteroom with the Saturday Evening Post. Under ideal conditions a doctor would be on duty all day at the hospital.
principal staff comes with an inspection of the future. What is going to be done if the University keeps growing, as it apparently intends to do, and that involves the eight-town hospital? Each year the amount of work done in the same space increases. Last year the total number of beds increased proximately twelve thousand. This year it will be around sixteen thousand. The number of bed patients to date is approaching six hundred which represents a hundred above last year's total.
The committee to which the honor system at Harvard was referred has unanimously rejected it.
