Eiffel Tower Outdraws
Louvre as Attraction

PARIS. - The Louvre museum,

the Eiffel tower is the country's

More than $45, 900 was paid to the
Louvre in 1887 entry fees by 537, 1895

Eiffel tower attracted 810,1 per-

exposition in Paris, French muse

crease of 100 per cent over 1886.
Versailles, with its historic cha
teau and flashing fountains, was an
other money-maker for France. hav-
ing 1887 income of $4,000, triple
that of the preceding year. The Arc
de-Triomphe also boosted its popu-

The most important feature, how

Delaware River by sewage and in

when the amounts are considered

valley which is some five million

propriate the S2,50O for Delaware's

up for pollution elimination work
by the Interstate Commission on

At another point in his talk Mr..

Where is Our School Spirit {?

Just where is our school spirit :?
Has it been put aside or is it that
the students lack ambition School
spirit is what one makes of it and
certainly we are not making much
.of it at the present. Last year it
was exceedingly good; this year it
has gone the other way. Is it that
some Of our leaders have gradual
ed?
Last Friday during the Blue and
Gold Contest the students showed
poor support. Pupils who had pre-
viously been notified that they
were to play backed out the last
moment. There was no excitement
n the games and most of the pu-
pills felt that they were going out
to watch games rather than par
tlcipate. The school needs the pu-
pills support.

we have to start, and start soon,
Il we expect to bring back our lost

This year the Glee Club, under

composed of thiry-nine members, a
few of whom are from the Junior

Most Of our singing is in three

We plan to sing songs in assem-

Personally, we think that the

Each Friday afternoon the var

yelops capable leaders. Since the
John Bassett Moore High School
lacks fall interscholastic sports,
these contests provide very good
substitutes. Another important
factor is that these games tend to
condition the basketball teams. AS
we all know, to be good player
one must have speed, timing, and
accuracy. These three are obtain
ed only through constant drill and
practice.
Why do we need school spirit l.?
Last years basketball season will
be an excellent example. Sure we
had a good team, but the cheers
and shouts of our cheerleaders and
patrons seemed to put new life in

chance to practice school yells and
