Given the gender-segregation, reaching the female population was only possible by women missionaries. It was in 1865, under adverse conditions and with her facing chronic health problems, that Fritcher founded the Girls&#8217; School, which started out with only eight female students in a cramped rented space. During the Fritcher years, the Girls&#8217; School flourished, with Frances Gage succeeding her as principal in 1893. That same year, however, the Girls&#8217; School was destroyed in a fire. With the compensation paid by the Ottoman state, the Girls&#8217; School was rebuilt, becoming one of the finest buildings among the mission facilities of Merzifon, and was named Fritcher Building in honour of its founder.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-100-people-who-made-history"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1134"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1134\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1136,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1134\/revisions\/1136"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/100.anatolia.edu.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
