18. In selecting the place of detention to which a youthful offender is to be sent the court shall have regard, so far as practicable, to the religious persuasion of the youthful

offender.

19.-(1) It shall be the duty of the manager of a reformatory or certified industrial school to report to the Governor immediately he considers it would be consistent with the welfare of a youthful offender for him to be discharged from the custody of the school.

(2) The manager of a reformatory or certified industrial school to which a youthful offender under the age of ten years is sent, may, with the consent of the Governor, board the offender out with any suitable person until he reaches the age of ten years and thereafter for such longer period, with the consent of the Governor, as the manager considers to be advisable in the interests of the offender, subject to the exercise by the manager of such powers as to supervision, recall and otherwise as may be prescribed by rules made by the Governor in Council; and where an offender is so boarded out he shall nevertheless be deemed for the purposes of this Ordinance to be a youthful offender detained in the reforma- tory or certified industrial school, and the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply accordingly, subject to such necessary adaptions as may be made by order of the Governor in Council.

20.----(1) The Governor may at any time discharge a youthful offender from the custody of any reformatory or certified industrial school, or order such youthful offender to be removed from one school to another or from a school of one class to a school of another class, but so that the period of detention originally prescribed by the order of detention shall not be increased by such removal.

(2) The discharge of a youthful offender under the fore- going sub-section may be on licence and the licence may be in such form and may contain such conditions as the Governor may direct and the Governor may at any time revoke or. vary the conditions of a licence.

(3) Where a licence has been revoked the youthful offen- der to whom the licence related shall return to such place as the Governor may direct, and if he fails so to do may be apprehended without warrant and taken to that place.

(4) On the revocation of a licence, any obligation to contribute to the expenses of the youthful offender shall revive and be in force during the period for which the youthful offender is detained.

(5) The discharge of a youthful offender under the pro- visions of this section shall not affect any order placing him under the supervision of a probation officer.

Power to apprentice youthful offender.

21. (1) The manager of a reformatory or certified industrial school may, if the youthful offender consents there- to and with the approval of the Governor, bind any youthful offender detained under this Ordinance as an apprentice not- withstanding that his period of detention has not expired.
