station in order to bring it up to date. Briefly, in cases of infectious disease,
infected articles, bedding, etc., are removed to the Council's disinfecting station,
White Hart Road, and disinfected there. The infected rooms are disinfected,
sometimes by Formalin solution or vapour, and sometimes by washing with a
disinfecting solution. When cases are left at home, the process of disinfection
is delayed until the medical attendant certifies that the case is free from infection.
Contacts are excluded from school in accordance with the regulations of the London
County Council. The disinfecting station is sometimes used for special disinfection
at the request of the inhabitants. A small charge is made for these disinfections
and during the year 40 such disinfections were carried out and fees amounting to
£10 8s. od. were paid.

Disinfestation. In accordance with the terms of an agreement with the
London County Council, disinfestation of school children has been arranged for
at the Cleansing Station, White Hart Road. In recent years the number of children
so sent has fallen considerably. Disinfestation of adults is carried out at times
when the children are not there.

Photographs of the infected and clean sides of the disinfecting station, and
a plan of the station are shewn on the adjoining pages.
