The Cooper. Concluded. |

^ote:—One. child is foreman; he chooses his workman. Together, they select from the remaining children a sufficient number to serve as staves for their barrels. The coopers then begin the song and place the staves in the shape of barrels, the arms of the staves resting as hoops around the waist or shoulders of the neighbors. At the words "Around, around," etc., they give the finishing strokes, keeping time with the singing; the hoops are gently pushed down more firmly. The barrels may then be filled with the articles for which they were intended, and "rolled" into another part of the playroom. A few children may have been reserved as buyers of the goods. When the contents have been sold, the barrels may be broken up into staves, and sold as kindling-wood or used in the manufacture of some other useful articles.) |
