Dr. Paul Sloat Miller (BA, Gettysburg College, 1910) was appointed principal of both Stockton School and Eastern School in 1929 following the death of Edward H Dutcher who had also been principal of both schools. Miller is listed in 1922 and 1924 Yale University catalogs working on his masters and/or doctorate and his dissertation* was published in 1928. Dr. Miller had been serving as a professor of secondary education at New York University when he was appointed principal. He was addressed as Dr. Miller and a former Stockton student writes that it was pointed out to the students that he was not a "medical" doctor. In 1940 he became principal of Vernon L Davey Junior High School following the retirement of William Hemans Smith who had been Stockton's first principal. Dr. Miller was still at Vernon L Davey in 1952 (according to a magazine called The Clearing House, 1952).
