(A) Facts to be proved:

That the child is addicted to no habit which is likely to detract from his reliability or effectiveness as a worker, or proper use of his earnings or leisure, or the probability of his faithfully carrying out the conditions to which he agrees as specified in (B) below, and in addition any one of the following groups of facts--

(1) That the child has been a resident of the school district for the last two or more years, has diligently attended upon instruction at school for the last two years or more, and is able to read, write and perform the fundamental operations of arithmetic. These abilities shall be judged by the juvenile examiner or if there be none, by the superintendent of schools.

(2) That the child having been a resident of the school district less than two years, diligently attended upon instruction in school in the district or districts in which the child was a resident next preceding his residence in the present district for the last school year preceding his removal to the present district, and has diligently attended upon instruction in the schools of the present school district for the period that he has been a resident thereof.

(3) That the child has removed to the present school district since the beginning of the last annual school session, and that instruction adapted to his needs is not provided in the regular day schools in the school district.

(4) That the child is not sufficiently familiar with the English language to be properly instructed in the full-time day schools of the district.

(5) That the child is needed for the support or care of a parent or parents or for the support or care of brothers or sisters for whom the parents are unable to provide and that the child is desirous of working for the support or care of such parents or siblings and that such child cannot render such needed support or care by a reasonable effort outside of school hours. But no age and schooling certificate shall be granted to a child upon proof of the facts in the preceding sentence without written consent given to the superintendent of schools by the judge of the juvenile court and by the board of state charities.

(B) Conditions to be agreed to:--

(1) In case the certificate is granted under facts (1), (2), (3) or (5) above, that until reaching the age of eighteen years the child will diligently attend in addition to part-time cla.s.ses, such evening cla.s.ses as will add to his education for literacy, citizens.h.i.+p or vocational preparation which may be made available to him in the school district and which he may be directed to attend by the superintendent of schools, or in case no such cla.s.ses are available, that he will pursue such reading and study and report monthly thereon as may be directed by the superintendent of schools.

(2) In case the certificate is granted under fact (4) above, that until the age of twenty-one years or until the person is eighteen years of age and has learned to read, write and speak the English language, the said person will attend in addition to part-time cla.s.ses, such evening cla.s.ses as will a.s.sist the person to learn the American language or advance in Americanization which may be made available to him in the school district and which he may be directed to attend by the superintendent of schools. Such conditional age and school certificate shall be printed on green paper. If a conditional age and schooling certificate is at the same time a limited certificate, the word "limited" shall be written or stamped diagonally across the face and the provisions of section 7766-3, General Code, shall apply except as to the color of the certificate.

Sec. 7766-9. A special age and schooling certificate which shall permit a child to be employed during the hours that the school to which the holder is a.s.signed is not in session, other than the summer vacation, or, where cooperative part-time cla.s.ses approved by the state board of education have been established, shall permit a child to be employed on the alternate days, weeks, or periods, on which his division is a.s.signed to such part-time employment may be issued to a child above fourteen years of age under all of the conditions other than age and education which apply to a regular age and schooling certificate and such additional conditions as the superintendent of schools may deem necessary. Such special age and schooling certificate shall ent.i.tle such child to engage in occupations not forbidden to such children by section 13001, 13002 or 13007-3, General Code. Provided, however, that said sections 13001, 13002 and 13007-3, shall not be interpreted in such a way as to prevent any pupil from working on any properly guarded machine in the manual training department of any school when such work is performed under the personal supervision of an instructor.

No child under sixteen years of age shall be engaged in school and employment above nine hours altogether in any one day.

Every special age and schooling certificate shall be limited and specific and shall be in such form as will show all essential facts, and the form thereof or directions for recording the facts thereon may be prescribed by the superintendent of public instruction.

Such certificate shall be printed on light brown paper.

Such certificate shall be returned to the superintendent of schools on or before the day that school adjourns for the summer vacation except when the co-operative part-time cla.s.ses continue during the summer vacation. They shall be filed and returned by employers under the same conditions and penalties as apply to regular age and schooling certificates.
