Dear Sir:

Replying to your letter dated October 20, 1944. Since re-
ceiving your letter I have had an investigation of the
children named in my previous letter with reference to not
having transpotation. I have been advised that out of the
twenty four children that do not nave the transpotation,
many of them do not attend school and their excuse is that
they get tired of walking. Now with all fairness to the
school board I do not think this hardship should be placed
upon the children.

I am mindful of your last letter in which you stated that
the bus carring white children and passed these children
going to school, you had requested the driver to pick up
these children but he had refused to do so. The only way
I see to remedy this condition is to supply these child-
ren with a bus just the same as the white childred, who
have a bus.

I have discussed with a number of the parents about pro-
viding transpotation for the children and I have been in-
formed that there were no parents in that area that had
sufficient transpotation facilities. Since that does not
seem to be any solution to the problem, my only concern is
that the school board make suffidient provisions for these
children in as much as we 4o have the dual system of the
school. It is the duty of the school board to provide
equal facilities for the school children and it is the
school board's duty to provide equal transpotation. I hope
these conditions can be remedied without amny unnecessary
actions on the part of the parents to force their equal
educational facilities,
