Draw this diagram on the yard pavement, and mark the parts that are north, south, east and west. Stand at the middle of the cross. Face north. What is behind you? What direction is at your right side and which is at your left side? Learn these words:
“When I face the north the south is behind me; the east is at my right hand and the west is at my left hand.”
