In all 31 schools remained free from Diphtheria, compared
with 28 in 1912.
In three schools, viz.:βAll Saints', Putney, Swaffield Road and
Clapham Parochial, it was necessary to have swabs taken from
the throats of the children, and in Swaffield Road two, and in
Clapham Parochial one, were found to give positive results, while
in All Saints', Putney, these were all negative.
The Medical Officer of Health, London County Council, instructed
the teachers of the Departments in the schools concerned
to exclude all children suffering from sore throat, and to forward
particulars to me on special forms supplied to them.
