These 6 cases were excluded from School in accordance with a request conveyed in a circular letter to the teachers of January
25th. At the time the scholars appeared to the teachers to be cases of simple cough, but within a fortnight 6 or over 17
per cent, of all the cases so excluded proved to be Whooping Cough. The other cases were re-admitted to school so soon
as they were definitely known not to be cases of Whooping Cough.
