Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The low rate in Tooting and the high rate in Streatham is
due to the fact that a number of children who had Diphtheria in
Tooting were in attendance at Broadwater Road and Smallwood
Road Schools, which are in the Streatham sub-district.
A further examination of the Table shows that in Putney
only four cases occurred in connection with schools in the first 11
months of the year, and if it had not been for the outbreak at
Roehampton only six cases would have been notified from that
sub-district.
Of the total cases notified, 44 were incorrectly diagnosed,
compared with 30 in 1906, leaving a total of 585, compared with
531 in 1906, and 312 in 1905.
Only 21 cases occurred in connection with private schools,
compared with 48 in 1906.
