According to John Woolf Jordan (1914), A History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and Its People:
"Rachel Wood Brewster, fourth daughter of Robert C. and Elizabeth (Perrine) Brewster, was born in Vineland, New Jersey, but from the age of three years until age of twenty lived in Rahway, New Jersey, which was the home of her parents at the time. She received a thoroughly practical education and after eight years connection as a teacher with the Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble Minded Children, in Delaware County, and believing the development of such children to be a work worthy of her highest effort, established 'The Brookwood School' on Shadeland avenue, Lansdowne, where she continues her labor of sacrifice and duty. She has adopted the methods of Montessorri, the talented Italian woman of the present day, and employs the best proven methods of other educators, endorsed by her own experience, theory and practice. The school, though comparatively small, is surrounded by seven acres of fertile land that supply the needed vegetable food and furnish an outlet for the surplus energy of the pupils and required out-door exercise. The heated, summer months are usually spent by the school at some quiet spot at the seashore, where suitable quarters are secured. While some children have been with Miss Brewster for the past ten years and always will be, many have left 'Brookwood' greatly forwarded and able to take their place in the world."
