Larry: We are looking for a general history, when the school was established, how long it ran, was it a girls' only school, or co-ed, high school, finishing school, etc. The reason for the query is one of my Fairchild "cousins" and I have done a bit of corresponding and they are in possession of a sampler made by an ancestor that says "North School, Philadelphia, 1809" on it, so they would like to know a bit about the school to tie it in with the sampler. Thanks for responding.
