BEGINS AT 6:49 A.M.

00:06.740 --> 00:07.841 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME.

DEAN: BUT DO YOU KNOW WHY WE CALL SPRING,
SPRING?

00:11.011 --> 00:12.746 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
LET'S SHOW YOU!

00:12.846 --> 00:15.715 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
JAMES: WELL, SPRING IS SIMPLY SHORT FOR THE
PHRASES, "SPRING OF THE LEAF" AND "SPRING

00:15.815 --> 00:17.550 align:left position:32.5%,start line:89% size:57.5%
OF THE YEAR."

00:17.650 --> 00:20.420 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
SPRING OF THE LEAF IS OBVIOUS BECAUSE LEAVES
DO LITERALLY SPRING UP OUT OF BRANCHES AT

00:20.520 --> 00:21.421 align:left position:37.5%,start line:89% size:52.5%
THIS TIME.

00:21.521 --> 00:23.256 align:left position:82.5%,start line:89% size:7.5%
BUT WHAT DOES SPRING OF THE YEAR MEAN?

00:23.356 --> 00:28.395 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
DEAN: BEFORE 1752 IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA,
THE NEW YEAR BEGAN ON MARCH 25TH, THE FIRST

00:28.495 --> 00:30.030 align:left position:32.5%,start line:89% size:57.5%
DAY OF SPRING.

00:30.130 --> 00:33.166 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
IN OTHER WORDS THE NEW YEAR SPRANG UP AT THE
SAME TIME THE LEAVES SPRANG UP.

00:33.266 --> 00:37.937 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
IN FACT, WHEN GEORGE WASHINGTON AND BEN FRANKLIN
WERE YOUNG, THEY ALL WISHED EACH OTHER "HAPPY

00:38.038 --> 00:42.275 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
NEW YEAR" ON THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING UNTIL
THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT REFORMED THE CALENDAR

00:42.375 --> 00:47.514 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
AND DECLARED THAT AFTER 1752 THE NEW YEAR
WOULD BE CELEBRATED ON JANUARY 1ST.

00:47.614 --> 00:49.816 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
JAMES: SO HAPPY SPRING AND HAPPY 'OLD' NEW
YEAR!

00:49.916 --> 00:53.916 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
BOTH: KEEP LOOKING UP!
