I have gone through this order carefully, and it
contains
every
material provision (applicable to Hong Kong)
of the Industrial Schools Act, 1892, sections 10-30. I only note the omissions of possible importance
as it provides for the conveyance or transference of
children to school, but there is no
provision for the
Sir,
expenses of such conveyance
equivalent to s.16.29
of the I.S.B. & s.17 might have included provision
of I.S.B. s.30. I might also point out that s.6 of this order is not
wholly new, as the Acting Attorney says,
it reproduces s.14 of the I.S.B.
It is unnecessary
to compare the present order with
the latter were
framed on the
Imperial Reformatory Schools Act 1866 and not on the
Industrial Schools Act 1892.
Apparently there is no distinction in
Hong Kong
between Reformatory schools (for convicted juvenile offenders) and Industrial schools (for vagrant beggars not convicted of any offence), but the same school serves both purposes. Were the changes
of model?
