When I want to express a sentiment I,. which I feel strongly, I find the phrase in Shakespeare-or thee." Thus wrote Sir Walter Scott in his Journal. And to-day, as always, Burns's countrymen find in his songs the expression of their deepest feelings and beliefs. A teacher's work is never more worthwhile than when he introduces the next generation to this part of our inheritance. For more than seventy years the Burns Federation has helped such work. Now, along with McDougall's, it has prepared The Burns Federation Song Book especially for use in schools. This contains twenty songs, the texts of which have been taken from the best sources and scrupulously edited, with glossaries and notes on pronunciation. Some of the tunes are those to which Burns wrote his words, and others are ones which have become traditionally associated with them. They are all suited to the range of a child's voice, and the accompaniments are straight forward and musically satisfying. The Burns Federation Song Book is published in two forms: the Pupils' Edition, with staff and sol-fa notation, and the Piano Edition. Each book has the same full glossaries and phonetic pronunciations, together with an introductory note on pronuncia tion by David D. Murison, the editor of The Scottish National Dictionary . The musical arrangements are by George Short, and the songs have been chosen and edited by John McVie. Pupils' Edition 2s. Sd. (3s. post free) Piano Edition 6s. 6d.
