Workâ€" men‘s COmpensation, the ~eightâ€"hour day, old age pensions, less costly hosâ€" pitalization, and other social schemes To appreciate the life and work of Burns, the speaker said, it was necâ€" essary to understand the times in which he lived, and to modern minds this was difficult indeed. "This may be illustrated," said Mr. Scott, "by considering the changes that have occured in the lives of those of us who have passed the threeâ€"score _ mark. Â¥ou remember those days when the telephone was still more or less of a curiosity; when electric light ‘was jJust coming into its own; the gramophone was yet to be invented; picture shows were little books with illustrations so drawn that when the pages were fiipped fast enough one could see a man run~ . Mr. M. B. Scott, one of the highly esteemed Sccttish ploneers ci the Porâ€" eupine, having first come ‘here in 1910, was the guest speaker at thne Kiwanis Club luncheon at the Empire hotel on Monday. He spoke on "The Immortal Memory," and his address on the great Scottish poet held the deepest, attenâ€" tionâ€"of the gathering. The address reâ€" vealed the real secret why the Scottish bard has held the thcughts and hearts of men for over a century and a half, with fame that seems to grow with the years. "He, a son of the people, put pen to paper,‘"‘ said Mr. Scott, "and ‘inscribed the most daring criticism of the manners and amenities of his time (and <cmany of which exist toâ€"day); he probed deeply with the scalpel of his piercing wit the festering sores that afflicted stciety; he tcok a stand and was the champion of the underâ€" dog." The speaker depicted the Scotâ€" tish poet as the gallant champion of the rights of the common man, the doughty defender of freedom and a warrior for brotherhcod and thought for others. In graphic words the speaker referred to ‘"the basic facts that tell the outstanding message of this voice crying in the wilderness to make straight the devious ways of mankind, that liberty and the indivâ€" idual worth of man be always to the forefront in all our social relations."

The resclution requested the Government. to consider establishment of a univerâ€" sity in some suitable centre in Northâ€" ern Ontario.

"If one could instil the heartfelt respect and mutual regard as depicted in that simple poem, "The Cottar‘s Saturday Night," into the present generation, then I can assure you that the term, "juvenile delinguency‘‘ would soon go into the discard." ' Mr. Scott touched on the French revolution as a popular révolt against the evils of which Burns wrote so sternâ€" ly, and he drew the analogy between the evils that developed in the French revolution and thcse that came irocm more modern movements of the same type. / ~~‘"*This man ‘born in Ayr,"~said the speaker, "in surroundings of dire povâ€" erty and want was to kindle a light that was to shine forth to show the way to the ccmmon manâ€"a brilliant light that penetrated the dark recesses of bigotry and cant and illuminated the hopes of forlorn mankind that were surging and rising against the power of privilege and the inequality of rights...Yet the merits of his writing spread far and wide, not only to Edinâ€" burgh where for a time he basked in the glamour of drawing rooms, but farther afield to other lands, so that scholars actually studied the difficulâ€" ties of the Scots guttural diagslect to understand better his writings." | yet," said the speaker, "withcut conâ€" doning such conditions, it would be wrong to say that those in: authority were unkind or heartless indeed, they were the creatures of ciroumstances, just abiding by the customs of their times.
