Alexander Graham Bell

By:Nikita

Alexander Graham Bell was born March 3rd, 1847 in Edinburgh. When he was young, sound fascinated him. At the age of 16, he started to teach, he taught music and speech, after a year of teaching, he went to university in Edinburgh and then he returned to teaching. Then at the age of 23, he went to “Boston School of Deaf Mutes” in the United States. Bell had the idea that if a telegraph line only carried two messages at once, maybe he could invent a line that could send out 6 or 8 messages at a time. But Bell had no time with all the school work and private students. Bell had become a night owl. Another young inventor named Thomas Edison had the same idea, so Bell always locked up his notes and equipment in a table so no one could take his information.

Alexander created the first telephone. Then Bell, started to teach, opening a school called “School of the Vocal Physiology and Mechanics of speech” in Boston. He had many deaf students.
