Report of the Medical Officer of Health. 55
The percentage of children attending school was as follows:
in Clapham, 91 out of 135, or 67.4 per cent.; in Putney, 15 out of 41,
or 366 per cent.; in Streatham, 133 out of 228, or 58 per cent.;
in Tooting, 108 out of 207, or 52.1 per cent.; and in Wandsworth,
128 out of 222, or 57.6 per cent.
The percentage of cases in the Borough in attendance at school
was slightly higher than in 1911, while in the sub-districts the
percentage was higher in Clapham and Streatham, but lower in
Putney, Tooting and Wandsworth.
The percentage in Tooting is calculated after deduction of
the cases notified in Institutions in that sub-district.
In Clapham the schools chiefly affected were Cavendish Road
with 12 cases, New Park Road with 12 cases, and Bonneville Road
with 11 cases.
In Putney, of the 15 cases, five were in attendance at private
schools, and all the five occurred in different months.
In Streatham the schools chiefly affected were Broadwater
Road with 33 cases, Fircroft Road with 12 cases, Smallwood Road
with 11 cases, and Mitcham Lane with 10 cases.
In Tooting, Ensham Street with 27 cases, Tooting Graveney
with 25 cases, and Sellincourt Road with 20 cases, were the schools
principally attacked during the year.
The cases in Tooting and the part of Streatham in which
Broadwater Road and Smallwood Road Schools are situated,
occurred chiefly from August, reaching their maximum in November.
In Wandsworth, Merton Road with 16 cases, Swaffield Road
with 15 cases, Brandlehow Road with 13 cases, were the schools
chiefly affected.
