Instruction usually had a sectarian coloring and the schools were generally segregated by professed faith. Under the law, these schools were open to all children; however, they could not be compelled to receive religious instruction for a denomination not of their parents' choosing. Religious instruction was limited to one-hour per day. Overall, staff ignored rules to keep religion out of secular teaching.
