143. If an inmate is to receive wages, the cost of his going to and from
     a situation shall be borne by the employer: provided that the Minister
     may, if he please, direct that payment be made from the earnings of the
     inmate, or from the Consolidated Fund of the colony.

144. When an inmate is licensed out, one of the conditions of the license
     being that he shall attend school, the Department of Education shall pay
     for medical attendance and medicines; and the employer shall provide
     the school material.

145. Unless in very exceptional circumstances, no inmate shall be
     placed at service at any hotel, or shall go to an hotel for liquor.

146. Every employer shall, if the inmate licensed to reside with him
     becomes seriously ill, dies, or meets with a severe accident, inform the
     manager thereof without delay.

Boarding out.

147. For the purpose of these regulations, “boarding out” shall mean
     the placing of industrial-school children with foster-parents, and “local
     visitor” shall mean a person whose name is registered in the office of a
     manager of a Government school as undertaking to maintain a regular
     supervision of some child or children boarded out.

148. Unless in special circumstances, of which the Minister shall be
     the judge, every child boarded out shall be visited once a month by one
     or more of the local visitors.

149. In any of the larger centres of population the Minister may
     appoint one of the local visitors to be the official correspondent between
     the local visitors and the managers.

150. The monthly reports of local visitors should be forwarded to the
     managers of the schools to which the inmates reported on respectively
     belong: provided that if there is an official correspondent in the district
     in which any inmate is placed, the report on such inmate shall be first
     sent to such official correspondent to be transmitted to the manager.

151. All reports of local visitors shall be regularly transmitted by
     managers to the Department of Education.

152. Every monthly report shall be made on a printed form provided
     for the purpose, and shall give particulars as to the health, clothing,
     cleanliness, and school-attendance of the child to whom it relates, and as
     to any reasonable complaints made by the child or the foster-parents.

153. Every boarded-out child of school age must attend a school
     regularly--that is, twice on each school day--unless prevented by sickness
     or very wet weather; and must regularly attend with the foster-parent, or
     some responsible member of the foster-parent’s family, a place of worship
     of the creed, denomination, or persuasion to which such child belongs, and
     must also attend Sunday-school regularly.

154. Managers (or official correspondents, when so requested by the
     managers) shall obtain quarterly from the teachers of all schools at which
     boarded-out children attend reports on the school-attendance, degree of
     education, behaviour, and general condition of such inmates.

155. School material must be provided by the foster-parent.

156. After the 31st July, 1901, no child shall be placed in a foster-
     home that is situated at a greater distance than two miles from a public
     school, unless the foster-parent undertakes that such child will be regu-
     larly carried to and from school without cost to the Department of Edu-
     cation.

157. In general corporal punishment shall not be inflicted on boarded-
     out girls.

158. No cane, stick, or whip may be used for the chastisement of a
     boarded-out boy. A plain, light, leather strap may be used; but it shall
     not be cut into a fringe, and nothing likely to make the punishment more
     severe shall be attached to it.

159. Such punishment as mothers administer in private with the open
     hand or the sole of a light slipper is not forbidden in the case of either
     girls or boys.

160. No stroke on the head or neck can in any case be tolerated under
     any name whatever, and shaking, pushing, and any similar forms of
     punishment are forbidden.

161. No inmate shall be boarded out in any home that is licensed
     under “The Infant Life Protection Act, 1896,” or is under the super-
     vision of a Charitable Aid Board, or in any other home in which any
     child other than an inmate of an industrial school is boarded for payment.

162. No inmate shall be boarded out with a foster-parent who is in
     receipt of charitable aid.

163. No inmate shall be boarded out at any hotel, or allowed to go to
     an hotel for liquor.

164. No boarded-out inmate shall be placed at service or hired out to
     any kind of employment.

165. No foster-parent shall accept from any relative or friend of a
     boarded-out inmate assistance of any kind towards the maintenance of
     such inmate.
