Canterbury's boys were taught apologetics and Christian ethics by their headmaster. They also prayed daily to the "Canterbury saints."

Its plan for the Missouri Pacific last January wiped the common out entirely. Last spring it worked out a plan for Erie. To placate the two major interests- which had been bickering since Erie fell into receivership-ICC effected a compromise.
