That an amicable settlement will be made in the matter of whether or not the State Teachers Association will make Lewiston one of its meeting places is the opinion of H. H. Randall, principal of Auburn schools.

The matter is one that has caused discussion of late, many feeling that it would be a decided injustice to Lewiston and Auburn to cut them out as a place of meeting for the convention, which would then be held alternatively at Portland and Bangor.

It has been brought to the attention of the teachers, and it has been the expectation that at the next convention, held the latter part of this month at Portland, any move to eliminate Lewiston and Auburn as a meeting place will be warmly opposed.
