New Bell system for the North SCHOOL

New Bell System for the North School.
A very complete system of electric
bells has been recently installed in the
North school. The wiring is so arranged
that the bells in any of the twenty five
rooms can be rung from the principal e
room, or by an ingenious arrangement
of switches and special pushes, any room
or combination of rooms can be rung by
one press or another push. This can also
be done from the first and second floors.
The outside gongs for use at recess can
be rung from three different points in the
building. The push switch board In the
principals room is very neat and tasty
affair and reflects credit ON the firm who
put in the systsm-John NJ. Fox & Co.
