Ex.d Registers. Sep 1. & 2nd Insts. found same correct

The school has been closed for two sessions (of half a day) in order to allow the premises to be disinfected some case of diphtheria having been discovered amongst the children attending here during the morning sessions

The attendance this week has suffered very materially owing to the bad attendance consequent upon the closure of the school without notice. Many children having come to school on the Monday & Tuesday only to be sent home conceived the idea that the school was to be closed for a week, and stayed away accordingly. More than 40 children were absent on the first day of re opening. The average attendance is only 216, the percentage being 82.5%.
