Sec. 7766-3. The age and schooling certificate provided in section 7766, General Code, shall be issued only with the word "limited" printed or stamped diagonally across its face if the certificate of the physician provided in [section 7766-1] or [7766-2], General Code, is a limited certificate and in that case the particular employment to which it is limited shall be stated in the certificate, and the certificate cannot serve as the legal age and schooling certificate for employment in another occupation. Such limited certificate shall be printed on pink paper.
Sec. 7766-4. In order to ascertain whether applicants for age and schooling certificates have satisfactorily completed the school work prescribed in [section 7766], General Code, the board of education of any city school district may appoint a juvenile examiner who shall receive such compensation as may be fixed by the board of education. When such a juvenile examiner is employed no such certificate shall be granted by the superintendent of schools of the district unless the juvenile examiner has certified that he has examined the child and that the child has passed to his satisfaction the grade test as provided by [section 7766], General Code, provided, however, that if a child in the opinion of said juvenile examiner is below the normal in mental development so that he cannot with further schooling and due industry pass such test, such fact shall be certified to by said examiner and the superintendent of schools shall grant the child an age and school certificate printed on yellow paper with the words "Retarded-Schooling not Standard" written, printed or stamped diagonally across the face; and provided, further, that if the juvenile examiner is satisfied that the standard of any school is sufficiently high, he may accept the records thereof as showing that a child has passed the required test. In case no juvenile examiner is employed the superintendent of schools may proceed and determine in like manner; if after proper tests he determines that a child is below normal in mental development to the extent specified above, he shall grant such a "retarded" age and schooling certificate. If a child who desires an age and schooling certificate is granted a "retarded" certificate but secures only a limited health certificate; the word "limited" shall be written or stamped across the face of the "retarded" certificate and the limited "retarded" certificate shall be on yellow paper; in which case the certificate shall show to what employment it is limited.
Sec. 7766-5. A record giving all the facts contained in every age and schooling certificate issued shall be kept on file in the office issuing the same; and also a record of the names and addresses of the children to whom certificates have been refused, together with the names of the schools and grades which such children should attend and the reasons for the refusals; and also a record of all certificates returned or no longer used, as provided in [sections 7766-1], (1), [7766-6] or [7766-9], General Code, with the reasons therefor, and the subsequent assignment of the child to a school, if any; and also a record of the conditions on which any certificates were issued, and there shall be kept on file also the pledges given in connection therewith; and also a record of the special facts connected with the issuing of "retarded" or limited certificates. The superintendent of public instruction shall have the power to prescribe methods of filing of all such facts, records and papers, for purposes of effective reference. The above-named record is nevertheless not required in the cases of certificates denied to those determined immediately at the time of inquiry to be of insufficient age.
Sec. 7766-6. The superintendent of schools may issue a vacation certificate to a boy or girl under eighteen years of age and over fourteen years of age which shall permit him to be employed within the restrictions of other statutes during the summer school vacation up to August 25th, in occupations not forbidden by [sections 13001], [13002] or 13007-3, General Code, to children of his age and sex, regardless of what schooling he has completed, but before such certificate is issued the requirements prescribed in [section 7766-1] with relation to health, written pledge of employment, and proof of age must be complied with. Such vacation certificate shall be printed on blue or blue-tinted paper and the word "vacation" shall be printed or stamped across its face; such certificate shall include a statement of the school and grade in which the child is enrolled. Such certificates must be returned to the superintendent of schools by employers within the same period and under the same penalties as regular age and schooling certificates and may be revoked by the superintendent of schools at any time because of the physical condition of the child or other sufficient cause.
If a child who desires a vacation age and schooling certificate secures only a limited health certificate the word "limited" shall be written or stamped across the face of the vacation certificate and the limited vacation certificate shall be on blue or blue-tinted paper; in which case the certificate shall show to what employment it is limited.
Sec. 7766-7. Whenever the school record of a child as specified in [section 7766-1], General Code, is required for the purpose of determining his eligibility to an age and schooling certificate, such record shall be furnished by the superintendent, principal, teacher or other official in charge of the public, private or parochial school attended by the child within two days after a request for the same is made by the parent, guardian or custodian of the child.
Sec. 7766-8. Whenever an age and schooling certificate is applied for by a child over sixteen years of age who is unable to satisfactorily pass a test for the completion of the work of the seventh grade and who is not so below the normal in mental development that he cannot with further schooling and due industry pass such a test, an age and schooling certificate with the words "Conditional—Schooling not Standard" printed or stamped across its face may be issued by the superintendent of schools to such child upon proof acceptable to such superintendent of schools of the following facts and upon agreement to the respective conditions made in writing by the child and by the parent, guardian or custodian in charge of such child:
(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.
