JUNE 16.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1299
-
No officer, teacher, or servant shall bring or cause to be brought under the notice of any boy or girl under the control of any school any doctrines that are generally regarded as not being in accordance with the doctrines of the religious body to which such inmate belongs.
-
Wherever it is practicable, resident inmates are to be taken regularly to a place of worship of the particular creed, denomination, or persuasion to which such inmates respectively belong.
-
Each officer, teacher, and servant is expected to so comport himself as to set a good example to inmates in such matters as propriety of speech and manner, personal neatness and cleanliness, and respect for those in authority.
-
No inmate shall be allowed to see any publication whatever until the manager has satisfied himself that such publication is suitable as regards moral tone and effect for the instruction or amusement of inmates.
Supervision and Discharge of Inmates.
-
Managers shall, as far as possible, secure a thorough supervision over inmates.
-
At night each dormitory shall be under the supervision of an officer, teacher, or servant, who shall, under the direction of the manager, take full precautions against unseemly conduct in such dormitory; and during each night there shall be at least one light shown in each dormitory from the time that inmates go to bed in the evening until daylight. In dormitories in which only children under six years of age sleep, there shall be lights from dusk to daylight.
-
It shall be the duty of the manager to visit each dormitory at least once during each night—one visit to be made not less than an hour after the inmates have gone to bed. Should the manager on any evening be prevented from making such visits, he shall depute an officer or teacher to do so.
-
The sleeping-apartment of each officer, teacher, or servant who is in charge of a dormitory at night, shall be so situated and so arranged that he can effectively supervise such dormitory, and, as an additional precaution, the manager may appoint suitable inmates as monitors to assist in the work of supervision.
-
Every inmate placed out from a school shall, unless the guardianship of that inmate has been transferred as provided by section 28 of the principal Act, be visited at least once in every six months by an Inspector or visiting officer, or by a manager, official correspondent, or other duly authorised person, who shall without delay report to the Secretary for Education or the manager on the general welfare of the inmate visited. Such reports shall be carefully and promptly dealt with by the officer to whom they are addressed.
-
The Minister may, if he please, direct that any inmate placed out from any school shall be visited under the regulations for the boarding-out of children.
-
When any inmate licensed out from a school makes a complaint to any Inspector or visiting officer, or to any manager, officer, teacher, or servant, or to any person authorised to visit any inmate, it shall be the duty of the person to whom such complaint is made to transmit that complaint without delay either to the Minister or to the manager of the school to which such inmate belongs; and it shall be the duty of the Minister or such manager, as the case may be, to carefully deal with such complaint.
-
When a manager receives the warrant for the discharge of any inmate from the control of the school, he shall without delay notify such inmate of the fact, giving the date of the warrant; and, if such inmate is not resident at the school the person who has the custody of such inmate shall also receive notification of the fact.
Absconding, Rewards, Penalties.
-
When it becomes known to the manager that an inmate has absconded, either from the school or from the person with whom he has been placed, such manager shall, using all expedition, take the necessary steps to find such inmate and have him returned.
-
Every visiting officer and every manager, by virtue of his appointment, and while acting under that appointment, and every officer, teacher, and servant, while acting under the written instructions of the manager as legal guardian of any inmate, shall have authority to take charge of any inmate who has absconded from the school, or from the person with whom he has been placed.
