During the early part of April and May a considerable
number of cases of Diphtheria kept occurring in the Haydon's
Road district. Seven of these were scholars in the two top
classes in Haydon's Road Infants' School. These two classes
in rooms 1 and 2, which communicate, interchange for
different subjects, so that the half of the class in room 1
consisting of boys is transferred to room 2, and the girls
from room 2 take the place of the boys in room 1, and vice
versa.
The accompanying plans show the position of the various
cases in their ordinary classes, and also the position when
the interchange takes place.
