FANCY FLAG DRILL, 
 
 SIXTEEN or twenty-four girls may take part in this 
 Drill. The girls should be dressed in a uniform 
 costume, distinctly British. White dresses with 
 red, white, and blue sashes look very pretty. Cheese- 
 cloth may be cut up into strips and a red, a white, and a 
 blue strip sewn together. The sash can be either tied 
 around the waist or fastened on the left shoulder. If 
 fastened on the shoulder, a very pretty effect is obtained 
 by catching the end of tho ui>per part of the sash that 
 falls back over the shoulder to the left sleeve, then, 
 whenever the arm is raised the sjish will follow the arm. 
 Each girl will hold two flags, one in each hand. The 
 flags should be about fourteen inches by nine inches, and 
 mounted on a twenty-four inch >stick. See that the hand 
 grasps the flag by the extreme end of the stick.

 Fancy March. 
 
 The girls will form up in pairs in the anterooms. 
 The hands will be held in a line with the shoulderis, 
 elbow^s will be slightly bent. The flag held by each 
 
inside hand wrill cross sticks with partner's. Be sure 
 that there is a straight line of flags as well aH a straight 
 line of girls. 
 
 The pianist will strike a chord as a signal that the 
 march is ready to begin and then to the strains of some 
 rousing, patriotic march, the girls will come down the 
 centre of the stage in twos. 
 
 Reaching the front they will separate, the right hand 
 girls passing to the right and the left hand girls to the 
 left. As they turn, the left hand flags will be brought to 
 the hips (the left hands will rest on left hips), and the . 
 right hand flags will be held as before. They will meet at 
 back of stage and come down again in twos, crossing flags as 
 they meet. This time on reaching the front, the first 
 pair will pass to right and the second pair to left, the 
 third pair to right and the fourth pair to left, etc. They 
 will meet at back of stage and come down in fours. All 
 flags will cross with those on either side, except, of 
 course, the two outside flags which will be held in a 
 straight line with the others. At the front of the stage 
 they will separate, two right hand girls passing to right 
 and two left hand girls passing to left, inside flags crossed. 
 At the back of the stage they will meet again and come 
 down in fours, this time the first four will pass to the 
 right, second four to left, third four to right, etc. 
 They will come down again in fours separating, when 
 they reach the front, in twos. They will then march to 
 the back and come down in twos. When they reach 
 the front, the two head girls will halt and the others 
 will march up as close as possible behind them. They 
 
 2 
 
will then hU sepHi'Hte their tings and turn buck to hack. 
 Then the whole line, with tijigs held well up, will wheel 
 towards the front so as to form one straight line, facing 
 the audience. The two head girls will have to take very 
 short paces so as to act as pivots, while end girls will 
 take very long i)aces. The whole line will then hack- 
 ward wheel to their jjlaces. 
 
 The line will now wheel in the otlur direction. This 
 time the end girls will act as pivots and the two head 
 girls will take very long steps. This will hring the girls 
 into a straight line at the bac i of the sta»je, but with 
 their backs to the audience. Let the tiags l)e raised 
 sutticiently to be seen over the heads <)f the girls. They 
 will then wheel backward to position. 
 
 The girls are now standing in pairs facing the audience. 
 All lower Hags except the tirst pair. They will cross 
 inside Hags and raise them as high as possible. The 
 second pair, with tiags lowered, will pass under crossed 
 flags of tirst ijair ; when they are in front of first pair 
 they will raise their tl-igs and cross them. First pair 
 will have to ste}) back so as to make room for second 
 pair in fr<mt of them. Third pair with flags lowered will 
 pass under the flags of the first and second pair ; when 
 they take up their position in front of the line, they will 
 also raise their flags and cross them, while the first and 
 second pair step back so as to make room for third pair 
 in front. Fourth pair will [)ass under crossed flags of 
 first, second, and third pair, and tjike their stand with 
 raised flags at the front of the line, while the first, second, 
 and third pair step back to make room for them. 
 
 3 
 
When all hnvu tliUR paHHeil under, the luHt puir will 
 be at the fnmt of the Htage, and the firHt pair at the back. 
 Let them mark time for a moment or two ho aH to 
 prepare for the next movement. 
 
 The first pair (now at back), will lower tiags and pass 
 underneath the whole line of crossed Hags to their places 
 as first pair. The second pair, (now at back), will lower 
 flags and pass under the crossed flags of all but first pnir, 
 until they take up their position as second pair. Those 
 who are hoMing their flags for others to pass under will 
 have to keep 8tepj)int; back in order to make room for 
 those in front. All the [)air8 will thus march to their 
 places in line, and when in place will raise their fl'igs, 
 inside flags crossed. 
 
 The girls are now in line, just as they weve when the 
 marcli commenced, and are ready to take their jjlaces for 
 the drill. 
 
 The first two will remain as they are. The right hand 
 girls of the second, third and fourth pairs will march to 
 right of first pair, and the left hand girls to the left of 
 them. That will place eight girls in first row facing the 
 audience. As they take their places let the flags be crossed 
 with flag on either hand, all flags will be crossed but two : 
 the flag in right hand of the girl on the right and the flag 
 in left hand of the girl on the left. The fifth pair will 
 stand directly behind the first pair, while the sixth, 
 seventh and eighth pairs separate and march to right and 
 left of them. The third row will be formed in the same 
 way.

PRESS NOTICES. 
 
 Toronto Satitrdoij Niijht — 
 
 The fonturc of the fiftli Military Concert jit the 
 M.'issey Hall was the fancy flag drill by pupils trained hy 
 Miss Edith LeLean. They introduced Major F. E. 
 Dixon's new sony ''We'll Fight for the Grand Old Flag," 
 which made «|uite a hit. The drill wns executed with 
 e;ise and grace, and the pupils were vociferously 
 a})plauded and encoi'ed. 
 
 Toronto Midi and Empire — 
 
 Without doubt the feature of the Military Concert at 
 Massey Hall, <»n Saturday evening, was the fancy Hag 
 drill by twenty pupils of Morse Street School, who 
 eminently distinguished themselves. Their graceful 
 exercises and capital rendering of Major Dixon's new 
 song "We'll Fight for the Grand Old Flag," elicited 
 thunders of applause, and the greatest credit is due to 
 Miss LeLean, by whom they were so perfectly trained. 
 It will be repeated next Saturday evening. 
 
 Han)ke,shi(ry Post — 
 
 Canada still lacks a truly patriotic sentiment. It is 
 because our school system does not provide for it. Miss 
 Edith LeLean, of Toronto, saw this. She not only 
 saw that our public schools needed patriotic sentiment, 
 but being blessod with decided literary ability, and fired 
 with a natit)nal pride, she has been able to provide the 
 much needed stimulant.
