Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
15 of the deaths were of infants under one year of age, 50
of children from one to live years, and three from five to 15 years.
This agrees with previous statistics that the most fatal age for
the disease is from one to five years.
The death-rate per 1,000 in the Borough was .29, compared
with .37 in 1900. The death-rate in the County of London for
the year was .42 per 1,000, exactly the same as in 1900.
The following Table shows the number of cases of Measles
and other non-notifiable diseases notified to me by the teachers
of the elementary schools in the Borough. It is necessarily incomplete,
as the notices were not sent at all from some of the
schools, and also that it was only in the last two months of the
year that information was sent by request of this Council from
the Church Schools.
A record will be kept in future years which will be more
complete.
