School Bell, circa 1900
Add to SetSummary
A teacher in a one-room school in the nineteenth and early twentieth century would have stood at the door and rung this bell to call students in. Bells were one of many suggestions given by educator reformer Horace Mann during the 1830s and 40s which we still use in schools today.
