Dodson High School


Dodson is an excellent town eleven miles north of Winnfield on Rock Island 
Railroad, with about one thousand people and surrounded with prosperous 
farmers and excellent lands.  Two large saw mills are located nearby and many 
others at no great distance.  The schools is justly the pride of the town, and Prof. 
W. W. Bennett is bringing things to pass in this department.  He is one of the 
excellent additions to the Winn Parish teaching force.  He has been at DuBach for 
several years and is a teacher by profession  and preference, and is distinctly honoring 
his calling.  The elegant building shown above is an honor to the town and exhibits 
a spirit of progress and development quite worthy indeed, and that should be attractive 
to good people who need such conditions or who desire to enjoy such an atmosphere.  
In number the school is approaching 300, and in this elegant building  and with the 
excellent manipulation of Prof. Bennett makes a good showing indeed.  Mrs. Bennett 
also teaches in the school, besides a good faculty of trained teachers.  Our Winn Parish 
people are expecting great things of this school and of Prof. Bennett and his 
collaborators.
