Five classes were affected in the Beaumont Park School,
viz.:—
Class IV. with 5 cases
Class V. with 6 cases
Class VI with 19 cases
Class VII. with 5 cases
Class VIII. with 20 cases
The outbreak seems to have spread in two directions,
eastward to Southfield Road School and westward to Rothschild
Road School.
During the first week of April 13 cases were reported
from Southfield Road School, in the second week 28, in the
third week 67, and in the fourth week five. The outbreak
then subsided, as in the first week in May only 13 cases were
reported, and in the second week four. One case was reported
in July and one in September.
The outbreak spread far more extensively here than in
Beaumont Park, but Southfield Road had escaped the
epidemic of 1908 and the soil would therefore be more
fruitful.
In Beaumont Park five classes were affected, and in
Southfield Road 15. Although better means of isolation
would be available in the families of children attending
Southfield Road School, in 25 instances two cases occurred in
the same family, in one three cases and in another family four
cases. In Beaumont Park, on the other hand, in only two
families did more than one case occur.
During the first week in April 13 cases were also reported
from Rothschild Road School, and altogether 61 cases were
notified from this school—49 in April, 10 in May and two in
June-
The next school to be attacked was the Turnham Green
School, but only 13 cases were reported from this school. The
first case was notified in the first week in May.
