Oct. 17.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1611

of the colony, doth hereby make the following regulations
in respect of industrial schools within the meaning of the
said Act.

1. PUNISHMENTS IN GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

Subject to the provisions of this regulation, the Manager
of any Government school established or maintained under
"The Industrial Schools Act, 1882," may, at his discretion,
administer to any inmate of the school any corporal punish-
ment such as may be lawfully inflicted by schoolmasters;
but the Manager, if a man, shall not administer any corporal
punishment to any girl with his own hands, but shall direct
that it shall be administered by the Matron, or in the
presence of the Matron by a female officer of the school.

A teacher, while in charge of a room or playground in which
the inmates of a Government school are subject to the same
kind of instruction and discipline as that which is provided
in the public schools of the colony, may, at his discretion,
administer such corporal punishment as may be lawfully
inflicted by schoolmasters.

Except as hereinbefore provided, no officer or servant shall
on any account be allowed to strike an inmate, or to inflict
any corporal chastisement, and every officer or servant shall
be liable to summary dismissal for any breach of this rule.

No cane, stick, or whip may be used for the chastise-
ment of an inmate of a Government school. A leather
strap may be used; provided that such strap shall be in
breadth not less than one inch and a half, and shall not
exceed twenty-five inches in length, a quarter of an inch in
thickness, and four and three-quarter ounces in weight, and
shall not be pierced with holes or cut into a fringe, and that
in the punishment of girls and young boys, and in every case
where severe punishment is unnecessary, a much lighter
strap shall be used. Such whipping as mothers administer
in private with the hand or the slipper is not forbidden. A
birch may be used in the punishment of big boys when some
show of ceremony appears to be called for, but no birch shall
be used until it has been certified to by the medical officer of
the school as suitable for the purpose.

No stroke on the head or neck can in any case be allowed
under any name whatever—tap, box, cuff, or any other.

When an inmate is punished by the Manager for abscond-
ing from the school, or for any other offence coming within
the terms of the 67th section of "The Industrial Schools Act,
1882," the Manager shall send to the Minister of Education
a copy of the Magistrate's order under which the punishment
is inflicted.

The Manager may at his discretion punish an inmate by
restraint of liberty or by restriction of diet, subject, however,
to the strict observance of the following rules:—

Confinement in a dark cell is forbidden.

Solitary confinement for more than three hours in one
day is forbidden.

Solitary confinement at night is forbidden.

The punishment of bread-and-water diet must not last
longer than twenty-four hours at one time, and must
not be repeated without an interval of seven days.

The substitution of porridge for the ordinary dinner,
or the deprivation of pudding or other esteemed article
of diet, may not be continued in any case for more than
seven days; and, after undergoing a punishment of
this kind for any number of days, an inmate shall
not be punished again in the same way until after
the lapse of twice as many days.

In any case in which restriction of diet is imposed as
a punishment care must be taken that food is sup-
plied in sufficient quantity and in sufficient variety to
satisfy a healthy and natural appetite.

Punishment by the imposition of some badge of degrada-
tion or of some special article of dress may be inflicted, but
not without the special sanction of the Minister of Educa-
tion.
