This table clearly shows that a few cases of Measles may occur
in even an Infants' School without necessarily giving rise to an
epidemic. In my opinion a strong case is here presented against
the routine closing of a school on the occurrence of the first case
of Measles in such a district as Leyton. No school closure on
account of this disease has been adopted during the past year.
