IsnrKritiek Ni'llooka.—The government have a
bill before the House of Commons for amending and come-
&klieg the law relating to industrial schools certified as
satisfactory by the Secretary of State. A magistrate is em-
powered to send to such • school-6nd, children under ten
who have committed any offence punishable by law or who
frequent the company of reputed thieves ; or, secoodly,
children under 11 found begging, or found wandering,
without having any home or means of subsistence, or whoa
parents represent that they are unable to control them sod
undertake to pay for their maintenance at achool. The
children are to be clothed, fed, taught, and lodged either in
the school or out of it, as may be expedient. The govern-
ment may pay the coat of maintenance, or part of it ; but a
magistrate may make an order on the parent for payment of
• sum not exceeding se. • week. A child under 15 abscond.
ing from one of these schools may be committed to a refor-
matory school, but after 15 the children are not to be de-
Mined in as industrial school against their consent. If
possible, a magistrate is to send the child to an industrial
school conducted in accordance with the religious persuasiou
to which the parect appears to belong ; and provision is
made for the moms of ministers of the religious persuasion
of the child, so far as it can be ascertained.
