In March on account of the prevalence of measles among the
scholars in the Infants Department, Newby Place Church Schools,
and of the large number of pupils absent with the disease, acting on
my advice, under the 88th article of the code of Regulations for Day
Schools, "Notice" signed by the then Mayor, Richard H. Green,
Esq., and Mr. Councillor Randall, was served upon the Managers of
the school, requiting them with a view to preventing the spread of
the disease to forthwith close the school, and keep the school closed
for three weeks and to exclude for two weeks from the Boys'
Department, National School, High Street, and from the Girls
Department, Bow Lane School, any scholars coming from the homes
of children who attended in the Infants' and Babies Departments
Newby Place Church Schools.
