resulted in the transfer of Croft Clark grammar school to other buildings of the city, to make way for the enlargement of Leavenworth high school. Although Mayor Frank Hayes is believed to have interceded with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Thomas J. Condon, on behalf of sev- eral parents of the youngsters, 1t was said today that there would be no definite developments until the regular meeting of the school which takes place on Monday after noon after the transfers have been made and are in operation.
 Effective Monday
 Under the present arrangement the Croft-Clark pupils will report Monday morning to Crosby. Driggs, Walsh, Bishop street, Maloney, Merriman and Welton schools, being transferred to the building nearest tke home of the individual student, who will not be obliged to walk a distance any greater than at pres- ent and in most cases less than that of grammar school students living in other districts of the city.
 John J. Walsh, chairman of the board of education, stated today tlaat he has not been advised to call a special meeting, and stated in fact that the situation has not been brought officially to his attention. Chairman Walsh said that the board will not meet until Monday.
 Tn reference to the attitude taken by several of the parents and pupils

themselves, members of the board feel that the youngsters fear the change to another building more than their loss of rooms at Croft Clark, which is perhaps due to their ages. The change means also that the pupil will be in different en- vironment, have new teacher, and also face the problem of becoming acquainted with associates all over again.
 Superintendent Condon believes that after these obstacles have been overcome, the children will appre- ciate the change. He said that it will take them only 8 few days or a week at the most to become &C., quainted with their studies, the new teacher, and fellow students.
