Rheumatic fever in Norway and Christiania since 1863 and 1861, with

Discussion on Dr. Newsholme's Paper:

Glover (Dr. J. G.). Sickness of school children ought to be notified.
Hospitals supported by voluntary contributions did not owe report of cases
of sickness to the State

Weekes (Dr.). System adopted in Maine, U.S.A.

Scovell (A. C.). Diagnoses in infirmaries were frequently erroneous. A
more accurate system of notification necessary
Clothier (Dr. H.). Impossible to notify or isolate every case of infectious
sickness. Medical officers had already more work than they could do
properly
Murphy (Shirley F.). Institutions ought to keep proper records; all
notifications ought to be made in the first instance to medical officers
Thring (Right Hon. Lord). The first step was to make the Notification
of Diseases Act compulsory, and to establish isolation hospitals throughout
the country.
Howell (G.). Almost impossible to obtain returns of sickness from Friendly

Powell (Sir Francis S.). Want of intercommunication between neigh-
bouring towns injurious to public health. Greater co-operation wanted
between Home Office and Local Government Board
Warner (Dr. F.). London Hospital had kept a record of cases treated for
seventeen years

Humphreys (N. A.). Dr. Newsholme's scheme too ambitious. Existing

Loch (C. S.). Wished for returns of sickness as throwing light upon causes
of pauperism. Local Government Board might publish particulars of illness
already entered in poor law forms

Discussion on Mr. Price-Williams's Paper:
Jeans (J. S.). Average ton-mile rate for minerals was about 1d. not o‘42d.
as given by Mr. Price-Williams
Acworth (W. M.). Impossible to apportion expenses accurately between
passengers and goods, and still more between different classes of passengers.
Owens (C. J.). Difficult to estimate average station terminals of goods
traffic on account of the different classes

Boyle (Sir C.). Railway companies might possibly give an estimate of the
cost of a ton-mile if it was regarded as merely an estimate and not an
arithmetical fact

Percentages of primary and compound groups respectively upon the
number of children seen

E. 50,000 children; showing children without the main classes of
defect indicated

F. Percentage of dull children showing causation of dulness

Discussion on Dr. Warner's Paper:

Palmer (J. W.). Explanation of card system used in inquiry
Shuttleworth (Dr. G. E.). Children subjects of congenital defect more
open to improvement than those defective by disease. Skilled observation
necessary in schools

Brabrook (E. W.). In second inquiry Dr. Warner had obtained help in
recording his observations
Hendriks (F.). Could any subdivision of the children observed be made
according to locality? Present figures showed alarming number of
children below the average in mind or body

Bailey (A. H.). Percentage of total number observed would be useful if
appended to tables.
