SCHOOL INFECTION.
Public Elementauy Schools.
During the year great care was taken in following up cases of
Scarlet Fever occurring in children in attendance at the public
elementary schools, but in no instance was it possible to trace infection
tp infected children in school. The grouping of cases and the
dates of falling ill did not at any time point to the Elementary
School as a source of infection.
