	Rataplan. Concluded.

	117. Let us March.*

	[Note:—The children are arranged in double file ready for the march. During the singing of the first line, they keep time with their feet without moving forward. With the second line the right file of children files eight paces to the right, the left file eight paces to the left. With the third and fourth lines, each file again files respectively right and left for sixteen paces; and with the fifth line, they again file inward eight paces. Then as successive couples meet,they lock hands and, again filing respectively right and left, they march with the repeated strains sixteen paces to the point of starting, and keep the time of the last two measures in place.] * From "Songs and Plays for Kindergarten and Family, with permission of Martens Bro's, Publishers, New York. 100
