A comparison of this Table with that of the year 1931,
will show a slight reduction in the number of children on the
register and a more marked reduction in the number in average
attendance. The reduction in the number of children on the
register is due to the continued reduction in the birth rate. This
matter has been referred to on several occasions and it is unnecessary
to make any detailed observations on this aspect in the present
report.
The reduction in the average attendance has been due to
the outbreaks of Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria in the Autumn, and
this matter will be referred to in a subsequent paragraph.
