Dr. Charles Farquhar, who has opened a Boarding School for girls at Olney, Maryland, was associated with me in teaching Fair Hill Boarding School in Maryland, West Town boarding school in Pennsylvania, and as joint partner in the commencement of the Alexandria Boarding School: and we having pursued our studies together for about ten years, in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Natural Philosophy, I unhesitatingly express it as my opinion that he is unusually well qualified for conducting a school of the higher order. His sister too, who is associated with him, is an able and experienced teacher.
