Mir Editor: Once more in regard to the Canterbury school matter, as 1t has been given so much publicity.
 We wish to say that at a meeting of the school committee with Miss Terry, on Nov. 16 an amicable settle ment of the affair was reached.
 Recognizing Miss Terry's ability. but knowing that under existing conditions she could not do work that would tell for the best results in Raymond dis trict. the committee offered another school in town, which she accepted, and so will continue her interrupted work under the same direction as be- fore, but in a district where no dis sension is rampant
 Miss Terry will get pay for all time lost.
