Of the total number of cases, viz.:-1,330, the diagnosis was
incorrect in 58 or 4.4 per cent.; 708 or 33.2 per cent. were in
attendance at schools in the Borough; 57 or 4.3 per cent. attended
schools outside the Borough; while 507 or 38.1 per cent. did not
attend school, being either above or under school age.
The percentage of children attending school varied somewhat
in the sub-districts. For example, in Clapham 121 out of 205, or
59 per cent. were at school; in Putney 38 out of 82, or 46.3 per
cent.; in Streatham 209 out of 378, or 55.2 per cent.; in Tooting
131 out of 318, or 41.2 per cent.; and in Wandsworth 209 out of
347, or 6o.2 per cent.
The percentage in Tooting is lower for two reasons, one
being that a number of children in Tooting attend schools in
Balham, and the other that 47 cases were notified from the Fever
Hospitals and the Tooting Bec Asvlum.
