WORCESTER, VI, May 2, 1858.
> Ma. EDIroR AS the tine for the
commencement Of the summer term of
the common schools Of Vermont is near
at hand, perhaps a few remarks on that
alI.importani subject may not be nmiss
for there is no worthier object, or one
which should more thoroughly command
our sympathies.
The practice, which prevails in many
sections. of requiring the teacher to keep
school six days in week is wrong, EN-.
phatically so, and cannot be too strongly
reprehendcd. An instance of the per.
nicious effects Of this practice occurred
in the adjoining town of Calais, the past
winter. The teacher, lady from this
town, and one every way competent, was
engaged in district containing nearly
seventy scholars, and required to keep
school six days in week. Her consti-
tuition, naturally robust, was unable to
Withstand the severe labor thus imposed
upon her her health failed, and she
was obliged to leave the school for sew
eral weeks. When she resumed her Ia.
bors, it was with the assistance of her
sister, and together they completed the
school Five days, or FIVE and half at
most, is as long as a teacher or scholars
ought to be confined in the school room
in Que week A whole day. or even
half, to themselves, would tend to relax
the mind from the arduous duties devol.
wing upon teacher and scholar, through
the week, and would be intellectually ben.
efcial to BOTH and at the commence
mcnt Of another week the teachers are
prepared to resume their labors with
renewed vigor, and with greater benefit
to those committed to their care.
As to the best method of managing
the schools, l will let the teachers speak
for themselves.
The following written by an cxpericn.
ced teacher, comes directly to the point,
and should be carefully peruscd by all
who are intending to teach school the
coming summer.
Respectfully yours

The SANDWICH IsLAYDs.-The
Washington Union refers to the recent
rumors concerning the French move
ments in the Sandwich Islands, and
states that they are true in the main,
but false in detail. 1t says also that
under no circumstances will this gov
eminent suffer the dominion Of these
islands to be transferred to any other
power.
The government of the Sandwich
Islands is equally determined. Any
attack by the French upon tho sover-
eighty Of the islands will be answered
by the raising of the American flag
upon their forts.

THE LIQUOR LAW IN DEFAMATION

THE LIQUOR LAW IN BENNINGTON.
The friends of the new liquor law
are enforcing it as strictly as is posi-
ble in this village. On Tuesday two
casks of liquor belonging to an Irish
retailer were seized and poured into
the gutter, and the owner fined $50
and costs. Several suspicious habita-
tons have been searched, and many
more are, we understand, soon to be.
A number Of druuken men have been
picked up and allowed to cool off in
our jail, and our streets are entirely
rid of such loathsome membranes.
In fine, the law works admirably in
Bennington Bennington Banner.
