In Table 38 will be found returns of the cases of notified diseases which have occurred
in families sending children to school, and in Table 39 a similar but differently compiled
return for all the other diseases. In the latter no distinction has been made between cases
of scholars from those of non-scholars. In considering the figures it is necessary to remember
that the number of places in Non-Provided Schools is to the number in the Provided as 3:2
(approximately).
Owing to the prevalence of measles there was a considerable increase in the number of

(for exclusion and re-admission of scholars) were issued. Last year the number was 3,707,
distributed thus—
