first Boys Day" ever proclaimed in
the United States
Governor Edges idea in inaugural
ing it is to encourage closer relations
between fathers and sons. He be-
iieves that as fathers grow older they
lose the viewpoint of youth in most
cases; and that their sons suffer ac-
cordingly.
The object is twofold: to stabilize
the sons and revivify the fathers thru
mutual association. Lack of associa-
ton with each other. the governor
thinks, is harmful to both the young
boys and old; and tends to create mis-
understanding between them on points
concerning which there should be no
misunderstanding
