Diphtheria and Elementary Schools.
In connection with the question of the relation of school attendance to the spread of infection,
it has been thought well to include, as in previous reports, a table showing the reduction in the
prevalence of the disease among persons of school age during the summer holiday when the schools are
closed. The summer holiday of the schools of the London County Council began on Thursday,
the 26th July, i.e., the latter part of the 30th week, and the schools re-opened on Monday, the 27th
August, i.e., at the beginning of the 35th week. If the number of cases in the four weeks preceding and
the four weeks subsequent to the weeks most subject to holiday influence be compared, the following
results are obtained for the age periods of 0—3, 3—13, and 13 years and upwards. It will be
observed that the decrease in the number of cases notified during the period of holiday influence is
most marked at the school age.
