As three cases of scarlet fever were notified, occurring in
children attending the same School, all the scholars in that department
were inspected at the School. No case was discovered there
and fortunately no other cases occurred afterwards in connection

the measures adopted in connection with those cases, will be

Darell Road School. These excellent buildings were opened
in September. Towards the end of the year several cases of
measles occurred amongst the younger scholars.
Referring to the buildings, I notice there is no provision for
ventilation in the ceiling or roof of the main hall. This is not
necessary at present, but if the hall becomes crowded and occupied
for a prolonged period, it would be advisable to provide ventilation,
such as perforated openings in the ceiling communicating with
Boyle's ventilators on the roof. Another matter of detail is that
the doors of all the Class-rooms open inwards only.
