Teaching Staff

We can learn a little bit more about the teachers from 1910 Willimantic Census data. Only two members of the teaching staff lived in Willimantic, one being 26 years old and the other 61. Many of the teachers were women, which fits the stereotype of women teaching lower grade levels. The faculty:
