RichardB Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 At the infant school belonging to the district of St Philip's, above one third (50) of the whole number of children died of scarlet fever in the course of last year. There were only, as the Mistress told me : "a handful left in that corner". Source - plus lots of other school related stuff (1847-1848) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
