The Y. M. C. A. and the International Sunday School Association have been largely responsible for a growing popularity of ” Father and Son ” week. Since 1917 the week of Lincoln’s birthday has been reserved for ” Father and Son,” with special services in churches and Y. M. C. A.’s, banquets, games and outings. The date has now been changed to Nov. 11-18, centering the movement in Armistice Day. Many silent fathers and sons are thus fittingly included.
