Follow My Leader

With a large number of boys this can be made a very effective display, and is easy to do at a jog trot, and occasional “knee-up” with musical accompaniment. It also can be done at night, each boy carrying a Chinese lantern on top of his staff. If in a building all lights, of course, would be turned down. A usual fault is that the exercise is kept on too long, till it wearies both audience and performers.
