Roman Road School.
On 30th November information was received from the Medical Officer
(Education) of the London County Council that instructions had been
issued to the Head Teacher of Roman Road School Infants' Department
to exclude all children from Classroom H. suffering from sore throats and
to forward their names and addresses to the Medical Officer of Health.
These children were not to be allowed to resume attendance at school
until a certificate (based upon a bacteriological examination) was furnished
stating they were free from infection, or until the teacher received further
instructions from the Medical Officer (Education).
