Thus, in St. Mary's Schools, the children were
probably un-vaccinated in the proportion of 7.2
per cent.; in St. John's, of 8.3 per cent.; in
St. Stephen's, of 12.4 per cent.; in All Saints,'
of 12.6 per cent.; and in Trinity Schools, of
15.4 per cent. In the whole number of
children, 10.9 per cent. exhibited no marks of
vaccination, and 19.3 per cent. marks so imperfect
as to afford no reasonable ground for considering
the vaccination protective. Notices were sent
to the parents of all the children enumerated in
the last two columns of the Table. I have reason
to believe that nearly all those included in the last
column have been since vaccinated, and that in a
large number of instances the operation has been
repeated.
V. Slaughter Houses.
In addition to the thirty-six Slaughter Houses
which were licensed in 1858, Notices were received
