This infection was particularly prevalent in the first half of
the year, 22 school departments being affected. Starting with
42 cases in February the incidence rose to 109 in March, reaching
a maximum of 285 in April, and continuing at almost the same
level in May when there were 269 cases. The incidence fell then,
only 135 cases being known of in June and 28 in July. Practically
no cases were intimated during the Christmas term.
