Church School, 2 each at St. Mary Abbott's and St. Philip's
Church Schools, and the Nunnery School, Southend; and 1 each at
Allen Street British School, at Kensington Square Roman Catholic
School, and at a private school. I have no doubt that the disease
was spread in many instances through the agency of schools, or
that the epidemic would have attained much larger proportions
