State teachers, Report.

The proceedings and Address of the
Vemont State Teachers Association"
for the meeting held at Rutland last fall,
has Just been issued from the BANNER
press, in an edition of 1900 copies, under
the direction of Superintendent G. S.
Davis of the State Executive Committee.
1t is neat and attractive pamphlet,
containing many able papers upon wide
range of educational! subjects. Besides
the very valuable addresses made
by Superintendent Ballet, President
Campbell, President Tucker of
Dartmouth College, and DR.. Horace
E. Scudder of the Atlantic Monthly, it
contains several others of local interest.
Among them we may mention the able
address of Major Valentine, Miss Cora
B. Whitney's paper on primary reading,
and Miss Julia A. Whites article on the
German method of primary arithmetic.
These papers on reading and arithme-
tic aim to set forth the methods
used in teaching these sub
jects in our Graded Schools. Miss
Whites paper on arithmetic has been
widely copied, and last winter it was
printed for the use of teachers by E. l..
Kellogg & Co. IN that high class peda-
gogical work, Educational Foundations.
Describing the work in our home
school, it was considered by practical
educational publishers worthy of being
placed at the disposal of more than sixty
thousand teachers. These papers origi-
mating here in our school, are at the very
top of the best educational thought and
practice of the day. By the study of
them, others may learn much that will
put them in the way of teaching reading
they are taughtin the Bennington Graded
Schools. This pamphlet of educational
addresses is for distribution among
teachers and the friends of education,
1t is free to all members of the State AS
ISOLATION and to those to whom it is
sent by the executive committee and
may be had by all corners at 25 cents a
copy. Call at the BANNER Office or ad-
dress G. A. Pierce & Co.

MONDAYS STRIKE.
The Wooden Mills Employees Strike
for the Restoration Of Wages, and
are Successful.

for the Restoration Of Wages, and
are Successful.
Yesterday morning the spinners and
weayers of the Bennington wooden mills
of Holden, Leonard & Company, struck
for a restoration of the 10 per cent re
duction in their wages of last February.
At the time of the reduction the firm
gave as their reason, competition with
Congressman Stevens's Democrat),
mills, and other Massachusetts mills,
where wages had been reduced. The
men say that they have kept along on
the lower scale of wages, through the
spring and summer, during the tariff un
certainty, working frequently over time,
and now that they are asked to work
four days week evenings, they thought
wages should be restored. The streets
yesterday were filled with orderly groups
of men, and several meetings were held
of the labor that is organized, the spin
ners in particular. A committee of the
Spinners' and Weavers' Union: Messrs.
Dennis Enright, Arthur Davis, j. B.
Carr, John Mcclellan, John Gantz, Mich
ael Casey, conferred with the firm and
the result of it all was that this morning
JuO lCJIluCu w NOIh WlUh OhO
scale restored. The firm have a large
lot of orders on hand that they are in a
hurry to get out, and the countermands
come In quite fast as well. We were
shown a countermand of a large order
yesterday, after the strike, that came in
the mornings mail. So it would APP
pear that the only way, as stated by us
last week, to do, is to rush into market
all the cloths possible before the new
tariff affects the trade. We are told that
the wholesale dealers are even now ask
ing the reduction in anticipation of the
new tariff. They say that if American
mills can produce the goods at the price
of foreign manufacturers they will give
the home producers the orders for the
spring trade to be delivered after Janu-
airy LIST, 1895, but if not, then the orders
will 90 abroad. The tariff reduction is
forty per cent. This opens up the tar
if question and wages" that must be
faced sooner or later. The men, on the
other hand, say that they cannot live on
reduced wages, that they have not had
the comforts of life while accepting the
reduction, and that the increased scale
is not as high as it was in other mills be-
fore the hard times came on. Be that
as it may, we are glad the employers
could see it for the interest of their en-
ployes to add mite to the wage-earn-
ems, even should it not prove perma-
nent The manner both sides negotiat-
ed for a settlement is very cOmmenda-
BILE. We talked with several parties and
the disposition was pacific and before
noon it became evident a settlement
would be reached.
These mills employ about 800 hands
and they have first-class corps of en-
ploYes.

vermont's ProhIbitory Law.

Mr.. Editor: Of late | have seen the
Vermont prohibition law discussed in
your paper by a number of persons,
with different ideas, and will you premit
me to say a few words on the subject?
From time immortal spirituous liquors
have been manufactured, and for ages to
come they will continue to be, law or no
law, and for the last fifty years many
States have enacted laws to prohibit the
sale of them.
Now, the question is, have those laws,
as general thing, retarded the sale of
liquor? Perhaps l am not as well in
formed as some of our learned men on
the subject, but allow me to be bold
enough to say, from what knowledge
have, they have not; nor will they ever
prohibit, for the reason, a prohibition
liquor law cannot be enforced to remain
so permanently. A law that don't
amount to what it was intended for, is a
bad law and ought to be done away with.
Now, as long as spirituous liquors are
manufactured, give the seller license,
and make the most of an unavoidable
evil. Let the person who is licensed sell
it in an open bar, publicly, and young
boys will prehaps feel delicate about
mingling with older people for that pur-
pose.
Under the present law, the old and
young can find hundreds of secluded
places where liquors are sold on the sly,
and naturally imbibe more freely, per
haps, than they would if it were sold
openly.
Some might ask the question: Why not
license person to steal? l will admit
that is quite a leading question, but do
not consider it parallel case. Uuder
the laws of our constitution, every man
has an undoubted right to manufacture
his own produce into spirituous liquors,
and if he pays revenue to the Govern
ment for the privilege, he is doing bust
ness lawfully, and has no reference to
stealing whatever. And, furthermore,
if person takes out State license and
sells according to law, don't see why
that comes very near stealing. Every in
telligent person knows that more sin and
evil comes from drinking than any other
way, but as the land is full of it, and al
ways will be, why not make the most OF
the evil and give us high license?
