About Aurora Schools./
The Minnesota schools hold a very
high place among those of the whojfe;
United States as regards both r?
muneration of teachers and starii$~
ards. The foreigners in their midst
do not make the institution less e?V:
dent, for excellent equipment ^feysa
well trained teachers make for rapid"
Americanization. V- j
This particular district is know^J
as "the range." The towns have ea'cTr
built themselves around a mine and;
school. So plentiful is the profit fr$l
these natural resources that om|
town, Biwabik is known as the "IrjpjB
Dollar," so called from the mongy/
producing iron stores that are 'eli
cavated from the depths of the ear|||
Hibbing, Minnesotans known as j
the richest town, potentially in thM
country. Unlimited wealth lies ?8?
to be unearthed. From these various*
towns, long cars may be seen crawl-11
ing clumsily along, carrying the rustf,
ty looking ore to Two Harbors andi
elsewhere, whence it is shipped
across the lakes.
A certain per cent of the profits:
from these mines is turned over td
the State and the State in turn /supl
plies, the schools with money ' foifi
their equipment and maintenance, ?ft
The High Schools of the great*
Northwest are similar to the small;
Southern co-educational school. Each/
have highly developed manual traine
ing departments, as welLas science*
physical training, commercial publifif
speaking, art, and music instructo^
Besides a publication which tij?F
students themselves edit, there is ai
literary society, an indispensable5
part of every High School. Great pre-'
cisi?n and system to a highly mark-;
ed degree are evident in every branchal
of the school. J[
The High School at Aurora is'
known as the Hearding, named for
John A. Hearding, a mining man,;
who was instrumental in securing the
land for the school.
From the exterior, the building is
imposing and ornate, built warmly tc
withstand the winds and storms od?
a northern clime, and artistically?
50 as to be the centre of the social
md intellectual life of a typical
mining town. . ? ;
' Victor Hugo says that the ; first
rwo functionaries of the Statjaraxs
'the nursevand the school master.'S,
\ town that has a worth whil?'scho?S;
viii grow to be" worthy of it iii the
)ther respects in the years to; come,
lt is a better thing for a town to
lave the school as its principal build
ng than some commercial business
?tructure.
As one enters Hearding Hall he is
rreeted by a statue of Minerva, the
goddess of wisdom, who stands as a
?ort of guide and inspiration to those
vho pass to the class rooms beneath
1er shadow.
On the left is the school library,
vhere many valuable books are easy
>f access for any unusually ambi
ious or book-loving students.
In the upper hall is a reading ta
>le with many of the best monthly
md weekly magazines and current
>apers for the entertainment and in
trudion of the students.
These High Schools include the
rreshman class which corresponds
o the ninth grade, up through the
Senior which would be the twelfth
prade or the Sophomore at college.
Nhen one has a diploma from such
m institution of learning as this, he
s old enough and well informed
mough to make the best of his col
ege training .having had the proper
oundation.
Long may'the schools of this great
tate prosper, for they so directly
ind fundamentally effect the state
it large, and indirectly, the whole
American continent.

To Editor Daily Mail:
In view of the crying need of

ibnormalities of life when abused,
'. wish it were possible for the police
o arrest every young man in Ander
en and take them to the Strand to
light and compel them to sit "through
he picture as entitled: "Are You Fit
o Marry?" We believe in compul
?ory education, and this contemplat
?d act, if carried out would be en
irely in keeping with that principle,
tar education of the sort contained
n that picture, if heeded, will do
nore for the salvation of the race
han almost any amount of preach
I am not advertising the Strand,
mt I say all glory to the theatre
vhen used for the benefit of the

Brilliant Wedding of Miss He
en Tillman and Mr. Preston
Wright of Cincinnati.
Weddings are always exceeding]
interesting, for "all the world lov(
^t;lover," and nothing so stirs tl
^Oimmunity interest as a romane
^Ipecialiy when one of the partie
liants has for all her life been a res
[dent of the place, and all the ai
?guaintances, friends and relativ?
nave been invited to share in the fe;
tive occasion.
j?".-Such was the circumstance whic
jjnade the marriage of Miss Hele
iT?lman of Edgefield to Mr. Presto
Wright of Cincinnati, an event o
(community, county and state-wid
interest.
gg.The marriage took place on Wed
nesday evening of this week at 8:3
jo'clock at the Bapfist church. Th
necorations were Southern smila
Sud white chrysanthemums, the fal
iJower most appropriate to the sea
Son. .The smilax was festooned mos
gracefully around each of the nu
merou's stained glass windows, oi
?ie green, walls of the church an;
every nook and corner and every ele
?j&ted position afforded a place fo:
graceful white baskets holding chry
santhemums, these queen of the au
himn flowers.
rThe electroliers were covered witl
White tulle and chrysanthemums, ar
fistically drooping like bells from be
neath them. This modified the bril
liant lights, and gave the scene s
soothing and mellow aspect, lending
& charm to the bower of beauty all
teady? for the entrance of the happy
bridal party, made up of the loveliest
bi all creations-youth.
V As the crowded audience expect
antly waited the arrival of the party,
?Irs. Lucy Huiett of Charleston gave
I' suite of songs "Beloved," by
Graxton and "The Wedding Ring,"
by Chaminade and again appeared
in a duett, "When Thou Art
??ear," with her brother, Mr. Graves
Cooner of Batesburg. Mrs. Huiett
las won great distinction because of
lifer wonderful gift of song, being
me of the most sought for in the
Charleston musical circles, and hav
ing won fame for herself in the city
?vNew York where she spent the
iSst winter. If anything could have
itayed the eagerness of the audience
:or the consummatjpn_of J;he coming
s^ent^aj^lulled them into forgetful-.

vith silver ribbon and slippers, and
nile bows on their hair, not make
>elieve, but real fairies as beautiful
is those they have read of in their
iwn fairy tale books.
A most bewitching scene was the,
intrance of the candle bearers who
:ame to add further glory to the
airyland by bringing into existence
vith their silver torches, myriad of
ihy lights, the fascinating glow of
he candle, which can never be over
hadowed by the greater lights of

Which lies beyond the sunset of
