 College, 1865—68. Head Master at Christ's Hospital, 1868—76, where 

 he had much to do with the scheme of reorganisation of the school 

 and its removal to the country. Head Master of Marlborough College, 

 1876— 1903, when he resigned. Non-residentiary Canon of Salisbury, 

 1887 ; Examining Chaplain to Bp. of Salisbury, 1903 ; Bector of St. 

 Michael's, Cornhill, London, 1906, until his death. Principal of 

 Queen's Coll., London, 1903-1910. He married, 1870, Eliz., d. of 

 Edward Milner, and had one son (Bev. G. M. Bell, Vicar of Bomford, 

 Essex) and three daughters, one of whom, Olive Dade Bell, died in 

 Aug., 1912, leaving behind her " the memory of a singularly sweet and 

 thoughtful character, with abilities which might have accomplished 

 much." The Times, Jan. 8th, 1913, in the course of a long obit, notice 

 says " During the years that he was Master (of Marlborough) a num- 

 ber of new buildings of which the Chapel is the most important were 

 put up, and the playing fields were also extended. Mr. Bell was not 

 so successful as some headmasters in gaining scholarships, but his 

 interests were wide and he succeeded in imparting to those who came 

 under his personal tuition a high level of general knowledge. In his 

 choice of masters Mr. Bell was especially successful, as was shown by 

 the large number of appointments to headmasterships which have 

 been gained by members of his staff. With the boys Mr. Bell was 

 quite popular, and the best testimony to their regard for him was the 

 close friendship which many of them maintained with him after they 

 had left the school. He made a study of secondary education in all 

 the phases through which it has passed in recent years and his book 

 on Religious Teaching in Secondary Schools (1897; 2nd edition 1898) 

 had a distinct success. He took a great part in the establishment of 

 the Headmasters' Conference."
