 Book Drill. EXERCISE SONG.

[Pupils turn in seats, all facing one way, and placing the feet In the aisles (if more than one pupil occupies a seat, of course they must face in opposite directions.) Children begin to sing with faces to the front, with books in left hands, and torn as the words indicate, keeping time to the music] (Air, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." page 29.)

Pat's Pick, 2 Flats.

We turn ourselves about this way, We turn about, Then atamd upon the floor this way, And turn about;1 And now we all will make a bow, And show the people here just how We drill with books in our schoolroom every day; How we drill with books in our schoolroom every day. (Some of the pupils strike a bell, keeping time to the music) At the sound of the bell we turn3 once more, The bell,8 the bell,* And each one march to the floor, Do well, do well; We stand this way,6 then right about face,6 Every one must keep his place. Oh! we love to drill in our schoolroom every day, Yes, we love to drill in our schoolroom every day, We never stand in our class this way,7 Oh, no! Oh, no! We never stand in our class this way,8 Oh, no! Oh, no!
