A—I8 = SCIENTISTS PLAN FUTURE OF QUINTS Party Watches Girls at Play and Discusses Changes in Their Regime. B thie Associated Press. CALLANDER, Ontario, Nov. 1.— The Dionne quintuplets sang “Marl- ‘borough Going to War” and heard the story of the Little Red Hen today, oblivious to the fact that great scien- tific minds were pondering their future. When shall they be brought in eloser contact with life as it is lived? How shall they be educated when they get beyond their present nursery- school stage? Shall they continue to be shown to the public, which comes thousands of miles to see them from behind & screen—and takes away pebbles as souvenirs from the nursery ground? ‘Those were questions discussed by biologists, medical experts and edus cators as “the Dionne quintuplet special” took them away from the pine and birch clad slopes of Callan- der after a trek from a Toronto con- ference on the quints’ progress. No immediate changes are contem- plated in the quints’ regime, but these plans are under consideration: Hope to Unite Family. 1. The building of a school near the nursery, where the five sisters would be educated along with a group of other children who are physically fit and stimulating. 2. The acquisition of more land near the nursery so the quints would have free range. Dr. Allan R. Dafoe also told the scientists the quints’ guardians “are looking forward hopefully to the time ‘when the Dionne family will all be under one roof. “Just when that will be,” he said, %“we cannot say at present, but that is the goal toward which we are striv- ing.” Deputy Minister of Education Dun- ean McArthur of Ontario expressed hope that the school would be built, and that other children would be educated along with the quintuplets. ‘The question of showing the quints to the public is & problem more im- mediate than their future schooling, some experts believed. Visitors have a tendency to exclaim, “The dears,” or “Hello, Marie” al- though signs hanging around the playground command, “Silence.” Need More Contacts. Dr. Dafoe, the quints’ medical guardian, said the sisters have a very slight tendency to play to the gallery once in a while, and turn around and throw kisses. More land, he feels—so the public would see them at a little greater distance—might solve the problem. Dr. Frank N. Freeman of the Uni- versity of Chicago, said after the conference, “my feeling is that if it can be brought about these children ehould have more contacts—partic- uiarly with older children. “They have had unusual physical eare, but they haven't had older chil- dren to set them the pattern of more advanced things they can do. “As it is, they meet only people whose responses they know. They don't have to meet any new people. In that way, they're overprotected. It is a good thing for young children to meet strange people.” He said he thought the quints should go to a modern school where they will be associated with other Children.

Gordon Was Bet- ter Known as Ralph Connor, Creator of “The Sky Pilot.” WINNIPEG, Nov. 1 (Canadian Press).—The Rev. Charles William Gordon, better known to millions of readers as Ralph Connor, author of “The Sky Pilot” and other pre-war best sellers, died here yesterday at the age of 77. Dr. Gordon was one of the most eminent churchmen in Canada, having been moderator qf the Presbyterian Church and in later years a leader in the United Church. During the World War he served in France as chaplain in the Cameron Highlanders. His work there prampted the British government to send him on a speak- ing tour of the United States in 1917, Many of his books, which included “Black Rock,” “The Man From Glen- garry” and a score of others, were best sellers during the two decades before the World War, “The Sky Pilot” having sold more than 1,000,000 copies. But after the war his type of romantic novel lost much of its appeal for a newer generation.
