MoreI ndians, they converse together. Otherwise, pantomime or the assistance of an interpreter is employed. Changes of scene may be indicated by rough pictures on the blackboard, or sketches, in colored crayon or charcoal, on thick paper, to be hung on the wall. Many simple objects, such as crosses, guns, and tomahawks, may be cut out of paper. Almost any properties necessary may be improvised from ordinary material found in the schoolroom, or brought from home by the pupils. For the bullocks hide inH enry Hudson, or Tonty scoat in La Salle, newspaper may be utilized. Hennepin sportable altar can be represented by a large pasteboard box. A coat or a shawl may be used as a cloak byS ir Walter Raleigh. A few feathers stuck in the hair will suggest the costume of an I ndian. In fact, the less defined the image, the greater the opportunity for the exercise of imagination on the part of the children.
