When there is a choice of elementary schools, each child should be sent to the one conducted according to its own religious creed, and it was also recommended that the children should be sent out to Sunday schools of their own denomination. This denomination is ordinarily that of the child's parents, but if the religion is not known, he is to be brought up in the Church of England:[614] if the father changes his creed, that of the child changes also.[615] [614] _Local Government Chronicle_, 2nd July 1904, p. 707. [615] _Ibid._ 8th November 1902, p. 1126. While in the workhouse the children are to receive instruction in industrial and manual work, but the Board strongly resisted proposals for sending them out to work in factories.[616] [616] _Hansard_, 21st June 1888, vol. 327, pp. 809-10; _Selections from the Correspondence of the Local Government Board_, vol ii. 1883, p. 139. Subject to these conditions, the 21,526 children living in the workhouse remain there to the knowledge and with the sanction of the Central Authority--at least, this is what the guardians contend, and, so far as we can discover, there is no order, circular, or minute to the contrary.[617] [617] We ought perhaps to add that the Central Authority is found putting pressure on boards of guardians who refuse to make any adequate provision for their children. In 1898 it is reported that, because the Darlington Board of Guardians refused to make such provision, the Central Authority had refused to sanction any alteration of the workhouse whatsoever until such provision had been made (_Local Government Chronicle_, 19th February 1898, p. 175).
