Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The percentage of children attending school in the Borough
was as follows:—in Clapham, 124 out of 195, or 63 per cent.; in
Putney, 76 out of 140, or 54 per cent.; in Streatham, 187 out of 332,
or 56 per cent.; in Tooting, 125 out of 250, or 50 per cent.; and
in Wandsworth, 285 out of 540, or 57 per cent.
The percentage of cases in the Borough in attendance at school
was higher than in 1913, while in the sub-districts the percentage
was higher in all, with the exception of Tooting, where it was lower.
The percentage in Tooting is calculated after deduction of
the cases notified in Institutions in that sub-district.

with 16 cases, Cavendish Road with 12 cases, and Larkhall Lane,
Parochial, Old Town, and Telferscot Road with 11 cases each.

Road, nine at All Saints', eight at St. Mary's, and 10 at private

each, St. Mary's with 13 cases, and Hearnville Road and Holy

at private schools, these chiefly occurring in March, May and
December.

and Tooting Graveney with 20 cases each, and Ensham Street with
