to be established in the Wellington District, probably in the neighbourhood of Levin. In the meantime Caversham is open to both boys and girls of all ages, except such as are clearly subjects for Burnham or Te Oranga. Although the above outline explains briefly the intended purpose of each of the Government establishments under the Act, there will probably be many cases in which Magistrates will find a difficulty in determining which institution is best suited to receive any given boy or girl, and the Department would therefore be grateful if the Magistrates would in any case of doubt consult one of the Managers, or this Department, for the purpose of arriving at a satisfactory conclusion as to which of the institutions will best meet the circumstances of the case. Arrangements are being made by which officers of police will, as far as possible, bring under the notice of industrial-school authorities the particulars of any case that may lead to the ordering of a child to one of the schools, and it is hoped, therefore, that Magistrates will not find themselves subject to inconvenience or delay in taking the course now suggested. Except in so far as they may be affected by the Act of last session, the position in regard to private industrial schools remains as it was before. George Hogben, Secretary for Education.
