Among the cultured and forcible elements that have entered into the making the new Winnfield
and Winn Parish, our schools have not been the smallest.  They have grown from a few scattered
and disorganized communities into a well organized system.  

Prof. G. A. Dutton was for two years superintendent of the school at Winnfield and contributed
much to this desirable end.

Prof. Dutton was born and reared in Virginia and was educated in her schools and trained in her
culture.  

Later, he attended the University of Nashville and from the Peabody received professional training
as a teacher.  

In Winnfield he did his work well.  His administration was of that quiet kind where authority is
exercised so gently it is hardly noticeable and yet that secures in good degree and in the best
fellowship the desired end.  

He has gone away now to prepare himself better for his life purpose but he left our school
advanced in work, united and harmonious.  

Probably no young man ever came among us who made more friends or fewer enemies.

Cultured, refined and gentle.  The friend of the right and the advocate of the good.  

The Guardian cheerfully offers this deserved expression to the shining virtues of this excellent
young man.
