the enactment of such legislation as
will hold responsible the officials of

the security and welfare OF these peo-

From time To time few advanced
students Of English literature have
Burns really did pen this famous
gem, but it was generally conceded
that he was the author, and In every
edition of his poems Aud Lang
Syne' is printed rs his work. The
letter referred To was written by
Burns to George Thompson. In 1t
he says: one more song and hav"

song, the old song of the oldcn
times and which has never been in
