"VII. That they take particular care of the manners and
behaviour of the children, and by all proper methods
discourage idleness, and suppress the beginnings of vice;
such as lying, cursing, swearing, profaning the Lord's-day,
obscene discourse, stealing, &c. putting them often in
mind, and obliging them to get by heart such parts of the
Holy Scriptures, where those things are forbid, and where
Christians are commanded to be faithful and obedient to their
masters, to be diligent in their business, and quiet and
peaceable to all men.
"VIII. That they call over in school the children's names
every morning and afternoon; and, if any be missing, that
they put them down in rolls kept for that purpose, as tardy
or absent; as also for their being guilty of breaking any
of the aforesaid rules and orders; and that they lay those
rolls before the founders or trustees of every school, where
required so to do, or before any other person empowered
by the founder, trustees, or subscribers, who have a
right to enquire into their behaviour, in order to their
encouragement, correction, or expulsion.
"IX. That they take care that where the children are
cloathed, they wear their caps, bands, and cloaths every day;
whereby the trustees, benefactors, and others, may know and
see what their behaviour is abroad.

"These rules were approved by the archbishops and bishops

"The foregoing rules for the good order and government of
Charity-schools, being laid before the _Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge_, they have approved the same, as being
agreeable to the rules of Charity-schools formerly published
by the said Society; and have therefore directed that the
same be printed, and dispersed among all the Charity-schools
in South Britain."
