_d._ 1711. KEN, _Manual ... for the use of ... Winchester College_. If you are a Commoner, you may say your prayers in your own Chamber; but if you are a CHILD or a Chorister, then to avoid the interruptions of the Common Chambers, go into the Chappel, between first and second Peal in the morning, to say your Morning Prayers, and say your Evening Prayers when you go _Circum_. 1891. WRENCH, _Winchester Word-Book_, s.v. CHILD. The word “Scholar,” as used by Ken, included the three classes—“Children,” Commoners, and Choristers; and it is observable that, though it has been adopted of late officially to designate the “Children” exclusively, this usage has not extended to the school. “CHILD” has fallen into desuetude, but its place has not been supplied by any other term. 2. _See_ quot. 1891. 1822. NARES, _Glossary_, s.v. CHILD ... The “CHILDREN of the Chapel” signifies the boys of the Chapel. 1867. COLLINS, _The Public Schools_, p. 64. One table, by a curious traditionary custom, is called the CHILDREN’S table—the electors present each choosing one of the junior scholars for their CHILD, and presenting him with a guinea and a luxurious dinner at this privileged table. 1891. WRENCH, _Winchester Word-Book_, s.v. CHILD. Each of the ELECTORS (_q.v._) might choose a Scholar on the foundation to attend upon him (a nominal duty in recent times) at election time. These were known as Warden’s CHILD, Warden of New College’s CHILD, &c. Of late the Head Master always chose for his CHILD the head scholar in Cloisters, and the Warden the second. Each CHILD received a guinea from the Elector who appointed him. The Children got off all fagging on DOMUM DAY (_q.v._); at Election Dinner they sat at the same table with Writers and Election Grace Singers, where the fare was better than that served to the scholars generally; and they had wine and dessert afterwards in CHILD’S-room in the Warden’s house. Warden’s CHILD had during the following year the duty of applying to the Head Master for every REMEDY (_q.v._), and half-remedy that came in the ordinary course. In applying he used the set phrase, “The Præpostors’ duty, and they would be obliged for a remedy” (or “half-remedy”). Whenever the application was something more than a mere form, it was made by the Præfect of Hall, _e.g._ where a leave out day disturbed the ordinary arrangements of the week. *Chince* (or *Chinse*), _subs._ (Winchester).—A chance.
