| Summary | "The Evolution of 'Dodd'" by William Hawley Smith is a pedagogical story written in the late 19th century. This narrative chronicles the life and development of the central character, "Dodd" Weaver, exploring his journey through childhood, individuality, and the challenges he faces in his upbringing under the care of his family and educational institutions. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the Weaver family with the birth of their first son, "Dodd" (short for Doddridge Watts Weaver). The narrative highlights the typical joys and concerns of a young child's upbringing, while giving a keen observation on his budding individuality and traits that set him apart from his siblings. As "Dodd" grows and gains experiences—especially in his interactions with teachers like Miss Elvira Stone and later Amos Waughops—his character begins to clash with conventional expectations of education. This opening portion presents the foundational circumstances of "Dodd's" personality, teasing out the tug-of-war between his natural inclinations and the rigid structures of schooling that may stifle his unique spirit.
