County Council.
15. NURSERY SCHOOL
Miss F. D. Harris, the Head Mistress, reports as follows:—
The Nursery School's good health record was not maintained
at the beginning of 1951. Attendance during the Spring term was
the lowest I have ever known owing to Influenza and colds in
January and February and an outbreak of Dysentery in March.
Everything possible was done to prevent the spread of Dysentery,
but the result was disappointing as fifty-one children and three
adults caught the disease. During the rest of the year the children's
health was good.
