Dodd.<br />

The Origin Of Father's Day<br />

The idea for an official Father’s Day celebration<br />

came to a married daughter, seated in a church<br />

in Spokane, Washington, attentive to a Sunday<br />

sermon on Mother’s Day in 1910-two years<br />

after the first Mother’s Day observance in West<br />

Virginia. The daughter was Mrs. Sonora Smart<br />

During the sermon, which extolled maternal sacrifices made for<br />

children, Mrs. Dodd realized that in her own family it had been<br />

her father, William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran, who had<br />

sacrificed-raising herself and five sons alone, following the early<br />

death of his wife in childbirth. For Mrs. Dodd, the hardships her<br />

father had endured on their eastern Washington farm called to<br />

mind the unsung feats of fathers everywhere.<br />

Her proposed local Father’s Day celebration received strong<br />

support from the town’s ministers and members of the Spokane<br />

YMCA. The date suggested for the festivities, <strong>June</strong> 5, Mrs.<br />

Dodd’s father’s birthdays were three weeks away-had to be<br />

moved back to the nineteenth when ministers claimed they need<br />

extra time to prepare sermons on such a new subject as Father.<br />

Newspapers across the country, already endorsing the need for<br />

a national Mother’s Day, carried stories about the unique<br />

Spokane observance. Interest in Father’s Day increased.<br />

Among the first notables to support Mrs. Dodd’s idea nationally<br />

was the orator and political leader William Jennings Bryan, who<br />

also backed Mother’s Day. Believing that fathers must not be<br />

slighted, he wrote to Mrs. Dodd, "too much emphasis cannot be<br />

placed upon the relation between parent and child."<br />

Father’s Day, however, was not so quickly accepted as Mother’s<br />

Day. Members of the all-male Congress felt that a move to<br />

proclaim the day official might be interpreted as a selfcongratulatory<br />

pat on the back.<br />

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson and his family personally<br />

observed the day. And in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge<br />

recommended that states, if they wished, should hold their own<br />

Father’s Day observances. He wrote to the nation’s governors<br />

that "the widespread observance of this occasion is calculated
