In all 20 schools remained free from Diphtheria compared
with 31 in 1913.
In six schools, viz.:—Brandlehow Road, Fircroft Road,
Hotham Road, Smallwood Road, Swaffield Road and Roman
Catholic, Undine Street, it was necessary to have swabs taken
from the throats of the children, and in Brandlehow Road, Hotham
Road, Smallwood Road and Undine Street one each, and in Swaffield
Road two were found to give positive results, while in Fircroft
Road seven were negative and Swaffield Road 14.
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 soecial forms supplied to them.
