ents claim some students were fa- vored and others were not.
 It is also the claim of these par ents that children below the age of 6 have been sent long distances from their homes, while high school stu dents over IA years of age have been made comfortable in their new quarters.
 Formal Statement
 The statement issued today by the committee representing parents of the Croft Clark district is as fol- lows:
 We cannot help 1t if we have slot machines, dice games, policy, and other forms of gambling, op- erating in our city. But when peo- pie gamble with the health and perhaps lives of our children, we will not stand for 1t.
 We realize the crowded condi- tons of Leavenworth high school. But VIC feel that the students whose ages range from l4 to IS arc better able to bear these condi- tions than our children, whose ages are 5, 6, 2, and 8.
 we hear that in some cases the children were transferred from Maloney and Merri,nan schools to make room for the children trans ferred from Croft. Docs this solve the problem, by satisfying one group, and diSsatisfy!ng another?
 "Why not rescind these transfers until the people involved can find a better way to solve the problem than the one offered by the board? Factory conditions may be better, and then we may be able to find rents nearer other schools.
 "The board of education gave pr. Condon authority to adjust cases as he sees fit. MT. Walsh said at the meeting that they were in- dividual cases; they are not in- dividual; they represent us, the masses, and we feel that In the event we haveto ask for carfare and tokens we will be classed as paupers; this we do not want: we are honest and upright citizens, trying to work out our own salva- ton, and not asking for charity. But we do not have the means to provide our children with proper clothing for the long, cold walks.
 "We aren't going to sit back and cry because we haven't been given what we want. We are going to hold c protest meeting of the parents at the 0. l. o. hall on Spencer avenue on Monday Ieve- ing, December 6, at 7:30 p. in., at which time all parents will be given an opportunity to express their opinions.
 Tn last evenings American the statement was made that only l7 children were out on strike. We wish to most cmphatically deny this; we know, with little check ing Up, of at least g.
 "As stated, these are not inc dividual cases, but a fair repre- Sentation of the mass. We wish to impress upon the public that all we are asking is a fair opportun- ity for our children's education. And we do not want them handi- capped with the impression that they are public charges, by hav- ing carfare and clothing provided for them to travel unreasonable distances. to accommodate much older children who arc much bet- ter ablet o take the short walk that was necessary between classes.
 MRS. DOROTHY DEsLANDEs, MRS. STANLEY NOVITSKY, MRS. VIRGINIA BEATTY,
 MRS. J. FABIAN, expressing the feelings of the mothers of the various districts"
