AULD LANG SYNE
Sir-I was disgusted when. listening in to the farewell given to Their Excellencies Sir Cyril and Lady Newall in the Wellington Town Hall, to hear the audience with one accord pronounce the
opening words of Auld Lang Syne as Old Lang Zine;.and of course pronounce them in like manner each time they recurred. The "words should be prvhounced as if they were written Awld Lang Sine. Is there not a duty on our schools to instruct the young idea how to pronounce the words of this touching and universal song which is part of our national heritage?
