with reference to infectious diseases, for the guidance of teachers:-
Diphtheria,-During the presence of diphtheria in any district, the
Committee authorised to refuse the re-admission to school of children
excluded on account of diphtheria or sore throat until such children
shall have obtained a medical certificate of freedom of infection, based
on a bacteriological examination. The certificate of freedom from
infection, based on bacteriological examination, will be accepted
either from general practitioners or from the medical officer of health.
Measles.-Children suffering from measles must be excluded from
school for at least one month.
Children coming from houses where measles exists, but who are not
themselves suffering from the disease, should be dealt with as follows :A
child attending other than an infants' school who lias had measles
need not be excluded from attendance at school.
