This dialogue, or exercise, is to be given by eight boys. While they
and the school are singing the first song the boys march upon the
stage and form into a semicircle, the four boys speaking for
Washington on the right, the other four (for Lincoln) on the left.
Portraits of Washington and Lincoln should be placed in a convenient
position on the stage beneath a double arch wreathed with evergreens.
The portraits should be draped with American flags. Each one of the
boys should wear a small American flag pinned to his coat.
