Sherbrooke Road Board School. (Munster Ward). —In the
13 weeks there were 11 primary cases in the Infants' Department,
6 classes being affected, and 2 in the Boys', but in three of the
cases among the infants, the children were probably infected by
cases in neighbouring houses.
Hugon Road Board School. (Sand's End Ward). —There
were 7 cases in the Infant's Department, in 3 classes, and 2 in
the Girls' Department, but one of these had certainly no connection
with the school.

7 cases among the Infants, in 3 classes, and 1 each among the
girls and boys.
Holy Cross Denominational School. (Hurlingham Ward). —
There were 5 cases in the Infants' and 1 in the Boys' School.

The last two boys lived in neighbouring houses and played
