DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOLS.
When reporting to the Public Health Committee upon the outbreak
of measles at the Newby Place Church Schools, I stated:—
" It is a pity that the authorities of the Church Schools do not
" inform me immediately when children are excluded from schools
" with any disease which is not notifiable, such as measles.
"Under the code of regulations and instructions issued by the
" School Board for London for the guidance of managers, corres"
pondents, and teachers, Regulation 148 (2) . . . The Medical
" Officer of Health for the District must also at the same time be
" informed of the child's exclusion, and furnished with the name and
" address of the child, and the reason for its exclusion, on a form
" with which the teachers will be supplied by the Head Office.
