During the summer holidays the public elementary schools were well
disinfected. At the end of May, Houndsfield, Eldonand Montagu Road schools
were dealt with, as measles had been troublesome in their areas.
Exclusion of Contacts. The rules adopted for the exclusion of
contacts are as before.
Exclusion Notices. In connection with the notifiable infectious
diseases, notices were issued by the Medical Officer of Health excluding 676
children, as patients or contacts, from attending day or Sunday schools for
definite periods.
On account of the non-notifiable infectious diseases, notices excluding 1415
children as patients or contacts were issued by me, after enquiries had been
made as to the real nature of the illness. The numbers excluded in 1914-13-12
were 2,874, 941 and 1684 respectively. It is interesting to note the great
variation in the number of children excluded from the schools during 1915
Total number, 1415; previous year 2874.
