The large increase in the number of pre-school children dealt
with can be attributed almost entirely to the practice, adopted for
the first time in 1938, of carrying out Diphtheria immunisation
at the Infant Welfare Centres as well as at the regular Immunisation
Clinic at the Town Hall. It is hoped that in this way it may be
possible to protect a satisfactory proportion of pre-school children.

Table: The following table shows the position in the Infants' Department of the Elementary Schools at 31st December, 1938, with comparative figures for recent years.
