SCHOOLS.
Some of the Public Elementary Schools are of the old type of
building and are not altogether satisfactory. Overcrowding occurs
in some schools owing to the rapid increase in population. School
attendance, however, has played comparatively little part in the
dissemination of infection. No school has been closed or disinfected
during the year on account of infectious disease.
The following is a list of the schools with their divisions into
departments, and the number of children on roll at the end of the
year.
