    “ A ” Tliis table gives the gross figures and percentages in each of the sections enumerated above, i.e., No. of children vaccinated in infancy, etc. “ B ” This is a summaiy of the returns from which “ A ” has been obtained It compares the figures of the different groups of schools into which the County is divided for administrative purposes. “ C ” 1 & “ C ” 2. These are simplified forms of the report “ B ” together with the number of cases of Small' Po'X among school children. This is a comparison of the vaccinal conditions in the Uuiai and agricultural areas. TABLE “A ” This section gives the gross figures for the County. They are as follows (a) Number of children on school registers (b) jj ,, ,, vaccinated in infancy (c) >> ,, ,, ,, during the epidemic for first time (d) Total number of children vaccinated (e) ,, ,, ,, ,, un vaccinated (f) Number of children vaccinated in infancy and sub- sequently re-vaccinated 4,552 53,381 19,187 or 35-75% 11,222 or 21-2 % 30,409 or 56-95% 22,972 or 43-05% It will be noticed that a large majority of these children were unvaccinated before the epidemiq began, and it shows how inevitable was the subsequent spread of Small Pox. A large number of children have since been vaccinated for the first time, i.e., 11,222, but even this brings the total of vaccinated children up to only 30,409, or 56-95%, out of 53,381 children. Another interesting fact is that 4,552 children have been re-vaccinated after having been done in infancy. Many, if not most, of these have probably beeu re-vaccinated during the epidemic, so that the number of vaccinations perfonned during the epidemic was probably between 14,000 and 15,000. “ B ” This is a full summary of the returns submitted by the various schools. The different groups represent ceitain well defined areas of the County, and correspond very closely with those co-ordinated by tlie Education Department for administration purposes. The following are the differences: The schools of Goytrey, Mamhilad, Glascoed, Dsk Council and Idanhenuock, have been transfeiTed from the Eastern Valley group to the Usk group, to which they belong geograiphically.
