Whooping Cough was more or less prevalent during the
year. In the early part of the year, the disease was limited to
the southern part of the district, and the only school affected
was South Acton. Later in the year the northern portions of
the district were invaded.
Although no deaths occurred among school children, in most
instances the disease was introduced into the house by school
children.
Scarlet Fever has been much less prevalent during the year,
but some of the difficulties met with in former years still
appeared. These have been due to the mildness of the
symptoms, and consequently to the attendance of "missed"
cases at school.
Diphtheria is dealt with in the report of the Medical Officer
of Health. The greatest difficulty sometimes occurs in dealing
with "carrier" cases. During the year "carrier" cases occurred
in the Central and Southfield Boad schools, and a limited
outbreak resulted in each school.
The following tables represent the visits paid by the Nurse
together with the schools where children attended and the
diseases from which they suffered.
