"On March 31st the disease Lad become so prevalent among the
infant scholars of Duncombe Road Board School that their class rooms
were closed. At this date there were 652 infants on the class rolls, of
whom 92 were away ill, while 31 were living in infected homes.
"Just about this time the Easter Holidays intervened and consequently
all Schools remained closed until April 18th, at which time
the weekly return of deaths from Measles had sunk to 11.
''About April 22nd it came to my knowledge that 180 infants out of
437 who usually attended Vittoria Place Board Schools were absent
because of Measles. On inquiry it was found that 80 were ill, and 100
had the disease in their homes.
