"School Days"
The 1907 song "School Days" was composed by vaudevillian Gus Edwards, German immigrant to Brooklyn, New York.
Edwards had probably never set foot in an American one-room school. But his song preserved it, at least in our minds. The New York Times would rank "School Days" as one of the 10 most popular tunes of the 20th century.
