TOMMY ALEXANDER IS VICTIM OF DRUNK
Greenwich Village Flower Boy, Waterbury Orphan,
 Dying at Hospital

Tommy, "the flower boy ot Greenwich Village, in New York who says that he came originally from Waterbury, is missing from his usual haunts these days. In- stead of selling punches of flowers to patrons of night clubs and bars, he is near death at Bellevue hos- pital.
 The hospital says that Tommy's full name is Thomas Alexander, that he is 18, an orphan, and a former resident of Waterbury. He has an abscess of the brain. caused by g. blow given him by a drunken man whom he had asked to buy some flowers.
 The New York orld-Telegram has the following to say about Tommy:
 Police found Tommy on the side- walk at Tenth street and Waverly Place. at an early morning hour, lying among his trampled flowers, and from him got a meager des- cription of his assailant. He was well dressed and young, and very drunk, the youth said, and mutter- ed something about not liking the idea of boy selling flowers.
 "Only Drunk"
 Out of the mass of bandages in his room at Bellevue today Tommy Alexander murmured weakly that he didn't care whether they caught the man or not.
 LAW, he was only drunk" the boy said. "He didn't mean it. He q know what he was doing. Why should I want him sent to jail?"
 Tommy related that when his father died four months ago in Waterbury he left for New York immediately, carrying his dead mothers locket and 60 cents. He sold the locket for $4 and he got a furnished room for $3 week iil the house of Mrs. Jennie Stefano at 439 w. 43rd street.
 Earned $1O 8 Week
 There he met boys who told him about selling flowers. They took him to a place in w. 27th street, where he bought fresh red roses and he learned in his room to bind them with fern into small corsages. After he had caught on, he earned about $10 8 week.
 Mrs. Stefano said today that Tommy was nice quiet boy, who saved his money and never caused trouble for anyone. She said she had packed his things neatly in his suitcase, keeping it for him, since she rented the room to two other boys who are selling flowers.

routine avidly. Each quint goes and gets her washcloth, tooth- brush, comb, and towel, washes her hands and face, takes 6 some- what ineffective swipe at her hair with the comb and vigorous but rather inefficient whirl at her teeth with the toothbrush, and then hangs things up in their proper places. They do this just about as well as the average 3-year-old in the nursery school. Not Much Supervision
 The quints are also willing enough about learning to dress themselves, although a good many steps in the process are naturally beyond them so far. They can usually manage their stockings and shoes and their outdoor clothes.
 Definite routines have been set up for the quints' play periods. Since they had always had so much attention from grownups, they showed at first a tendency to rely too much on grownups; SO in the fall of 1886 the regular nursery school routine for chil- dren of their age was begun.
 The children were taught how to use their outdoor play materials sand boxes, tricycles, wagons, and so on-and for half an hour each morning they were seated around a low table and initiated into the mysteries of modelling clay, paints, and so on. Care was taken to avoid giving them too much supervision; for the most part quint plays with whatever toys or materials she wishes, the only rule being that she must put one away ..efore she gets out an- other one.
 That, then, is Q rough outline of the routine under which the quintuplets are being raised.

Attitude of Serenity

Called into consultation when the quints were about a year old, Dr, BlatS suggested that their daily routine be based on these princi- ples:
 A concept of discipline which is educational rather than punitive.
 Development of responsibility by expecting children to look after their own needs as far as possible.
 Arrangement of physical sur- roundings so as to stimulate the quints' sense of initiative and adventure.
 An attitude of serenity on the part of the adults associated with the quints, accompanied by an

Finally TOppled Over

Maype they were pelng put to pee too early? Bedtime was postponed from 6:S0 until 2: but this meant nothing to the quints. Put them tc bed and they wouldn't even lie down; instead they would stand al the foot of the bed, jabbering and gesturing ct a great rate. One youngster once remained there until she fell asleep standing up and top. pied over on the bedding.
 There was nothing to do but put the quints in horizontal posi- tions by force; which was all very well, except that as soon as 6 nurse left one duly stretched sister to attend to another, the first one would bob up as blithely az ever.
 The only way out of this was to show the quints that the adults had just @ little more endurance than they had. It took @ lot oi trouble, but 1t finally worked after weary nights in which ont child might have to be put back to bed 20 or 30 times. The quints finally got the idea.
 Took a Sleeping Jacket
 It really took g trick sleeping jacket to make the victory lasting This was species of light quit with attached armlets, which wal fastened down at the four corners in such 8 way that the quint wal kept warm and was under no re- straint-except that she couldn't dc anything but lie down. Since 1t wal introduced, the quints have stayed put.
 They didn't surrender without trying everything, though. It was Marie who discovered subtle wrinkle in the matter of keeping sleep out of the nursery. Sht would lie down dutifully and shut her eyes-and then would start tc breathe with @ peculiar, raspine wheeze that caused all of hel sisters to stay wide awake.
 The nurses thought at first that shc had a cold. Not until a physi- cal examination showed that she was all right did they discover that 1t was just an act. Marie spent a night or two in the isola- tim room and saw the error ot her ways.
 Next came the eating routine, which provided even more difn- culties.
 All at One Table
 As soon as the children could sit up, they were fed in high chairs. Two nurses would go into action, each taking care of two quints at e time. This meant trouble, for one quint always had to wait for the second table, didn't like 1t, and ex- pressed her dislike unmistakably. So the chairs were arranged in semi- circle and all the quints were fed at once.
 By the fall of 1886 the quints could drink from cups and use spoons fairly well, so small tables were installed, with two quints at one and three at the other and e nurse ct each to supervise. Now they all eat at one table, with an adult eating with them.
 By contrast with the traditional Little Willie, who hates to wash, the Quints took to their washrocm

, and 1t was not until the fall of 1936 that any problems arose. Then the Quints apparently de- cided that the first hour after bed- time offered an unusually attrac- tive chance for Q little whole hearted romping, and proceeded to act on that decision.

Need Other Children

among the ulScOVefleS:
 That the quints can feed them. selves quite capably, but that they do 1t in a manner that would put Emily Post right under the table; i;
 That a quintuplet who doesn't want to go to sleep can devise stra- tagems cunning beyond her years:
 That five youngsters of exactly the same age who grow up togeth- CT. minglAg with no other children, are somewhat handicapped, and that the quintuplets need to mix with older and younger children whose backgrounds, bringing up, and so on, are different than their own.
 AS soon as the quints outgrew the need for extraordinary precau- tions made necessary by their pre- mature birth, the need for expert advice as to their training became apparent. This advice was sought and obtained from the University of Toronto's St. Georges School for child Study.
 The results are described in a paper by the schools director, pr, W. E. Blatz, and his co-workets, D, A. Millichamp and A. L. Harris.

 Toronto, ont, Nov. e--The prcb- lem of training the Dionile qilintil. plets has been exactly like the prohs lem met in any home where there is a group of small children to bring up.
 Five little girls are five little girls, even if they are the most famous ones on earth. And when experts in child training from St. Georges School for Child Study, in Toronto, were called in to advise on the training of the Dionnes, they simply adapted the principles that have been proven successful with other children.
 They met some problems, of course, and made some discoveries.
 Among the problems:
 What do you do when Q small quintuplet insists on standing up at the foot of her bed when she ought to be lying down and sleep ing
 What happens when five Quints, duly ushered into the dining room, indulge in a wild free-fof.all due to the fact that all five of them want to sit in the same chair
 Suppose a quint with a mind of her own decides that she would rather eat her custard than her spinach, when spinach Is what she really needs; what then
