School Cases —The number of notifiable and non-notifiable cases of
infectious diseases reported by the schools in 1913 was 978. There is
still a great variation in the number of children notified by the different
schools, as is shown by the following table.
In some cases the homes are visited, and advice is given to the
parent, when there is no medical practitioner in attendance. Information
is also given to the various schools, if there are contacts continuing
to attend school, who have not suffered from the disease notified. Altogether
78 visits were paid, in connection with measles.
