WHEREAS, by the 16th section of the Elementary Education Act, 1876, it is enacted as follows: If a Secretary of State is satisfied that, owing to the circumstances of any class of population in any school district, a school in which industrial training, elementary education, and one or more meals a day, but not lodging, are provided for the children, is necessary or expedient for the proper training and control of the children of such class, he may, in like manner as under the Industrial Schools Act, 1866, certify any such school (in this Act referred to as a day industrial school) in the neighbourhood of the said population to be a certified day industrial school. It shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time, by Order in Council, to apply to a certified day industrial school the provisions of the Industrial Schools Act, 1866, and the Acts amending the same, with such modifications as appear to Her Majesty to be necessary or proper for adapting such provisions to a day industrial school, and bringing them into conformity with this Act; and such Order may provide that a child may be punished for an offence by being sent to a certified industrial, in lieu of a certified reformatory, school, or may otherwise mitigate any punishment imposed by the said Act. It shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time, by Order in Council, to revoke and vary any Order in Council made under this section. Every such order shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament within one month after it is made, if Parliament be then sitting, or if not, within one month after the beginning of the then next session of Parliament, and while in force shall have effect as if it were enacted in this Act. Now, therefore, in pursuance of the above-mentioned Act, Her Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of Her Most Honourable Privy Council, to order that the following provisions, being modified provisions of the Industrial Schools Act, 1866, and the Acts amending the same, shall apply to certified day industrial schools: Extent of Order. 1.
