In all, 28 schools remained free from Diphtheria, compared with
14 in 1911.
I11 only one school, viz.—All Saints, Putney, was it necessary
to have swabs taken from the throats of the children, and all the
swabs taken, 30 in number, were found to be negative. The
swabbing was carried out owing to the occurrence of six cases of the
disease in children in certain class rooms. The six cases occurred
in two families, two in one and four in the other, but no spread to
other children in attendance at school took place.
The Medical Officer of Health, London County Council, instructed
the teachers of the Departments concerned to exclude
all children suffering from sore throat, and to forward particulars
on special forms supplied to them.
