Some immediate associates and successors of Miss Sarah L. Benson, a Milton Teacher of 1891-95, were Misses Bertha M. Terrill, Lillian A. McAllister, Anna F. Berry, M. Emilie McClary, and Theodora A. Gerould. This would take us up through the close of the 1913-14 year.
Some Nute High School principals in this same period were William K. Norton, Arthur D. Wiggin, Arthur T. Smith, Clarence E. Kelley, and Frank H. Manter. (Subject to additions or revisions). The principal would not have been solely an administrator. They would have been “principal” in its original sense: principal teacher, i.e., the head teacher, who was also administrator.
The various teachers covered here were sometimes called assistant teachers, i.e., assistants to the principal teacher. The Nute High School staff would not have been large initially, likely just the principal and an assistant teacher or two. Separately, there was the library, although it shared the same building, and its librarian (initially, Rev. Frank Haley). And the building had also a janitor.
(Milton Mills had its own high school as late as 1905. William McCue was one of its teachers).

Miss Terrill told how to acquire knowledge of the constituent parts of various foods and said that food might be divided into two parts or kinds, that which is useful for building up the tissues of the body and that which is necessary to supply the body’s demand. There are four constituent parts in all food, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and mineral salts. Miss Terrill told of Professor Atwater’s experiments in food, and said that the maxim that the best is the cheapest does not always apply to food. She urged that housekeepers used an intelligent guidance so that they may be able to select the most economical food and said that education in values is sadly needed by all classes of people. When opportunity was given for questions, one member of the club told of a doctor and her husband who had no kitchen but lived on fruits and nuts. Miss Terrill, on the meat question, said that she felt inclined to agree with Mrs. Richards that Americans are “meat drunk” (Hartford Courant, December 8, 1903).
Miss Terrill wrote a paper, thesis, or book on Household Management in or around 1901, which was published as a Lesson Paper by the American School of Household Economics in Chicago, IL, in 1905. It credited her as being a professor of Home Economics in the Hartford School of Religious Pedagogy, and author of US Government Bulletins.
