Part two was directed by Professor
a4zl rrfs
in by grades sis, seven and eight,
numbering approximately four nun
bred fifty. three hundred seventy-hye
and three hundred fifty respectively.
The first was a dumbbeli drill, the
second q wand drlu and the third an
indian climb drill which were given
with q precision and unity that was
little short of marvellous. The chill
dTen performed IS one person, the
arms and legs of each child moving
exacflv together. just SO far and at
the precise moment. IF there was q
slip OR q mistake any place it was not /
noticeable and the intense look on the
face of each ohild was conclusive evil .
deucs that Il there was a mistake is
was not through any carelessness ON 2
5ae part of the child.
Part three of the program was given Z
