Thimble Finding
Source text
Section titled “Source text”(Indoors).
Send the patrol out of the room.
Take a thimble, ring, coin, bit of paper, or any small article, and place it where it is perfectly visible but in a spot where it is not likely to be noticed. Let the patrol come in and look for it. When one of them sees it he should go and quietly sit down without indicating to the others where it is.
After a fair time he should be told to point it out to those who have not succeeded in finding it.
[This ensures his having really seen it.]
