  (1) The Administrator
  
  may establish and maintain as many children's homes as may be necessary for the
  
  reception of neglected children under this Act.
  (2) Where the
  
  Administrator is of opinion that any institution other than an institution

  children to be sent there under this Act, he may certify such institution as a
  
  children's home for the purposes of this Act.
  (3) Every children's
  
  home to which a neglected child is sent under this Act shall not only provide
  
  the child with accommodation, maintenance and facilities for education, but
  
  also provide him with facilities for the development of his character and
  
  abilities and give him necessary training for protecting himself against moral
  
  dangers or exploitation and shall also perform such other functions as may be
  
  prescribed 9[to ensure all round growth and development of his
  
  personality].
  (4) The Administrator
  
  may, by rules made under this Act, provide for the management of children’s
  
  homes 3[, including the standards and the nature of services to be
  
  maintained by them,] and the circumstances under which, and the manner in
  
  which, the certificate of a children’s home may be granted or withdrawn.
