Excerpt from Infant Care It is Of the utmost importance to have the birth of the baby promptly and properly registered. This should be done preferably within 36 hours after the baby's birth. In most States the physician, midwife, nurse, or other attendant is required by law to report the birth to the local registrar, who will see that the date of birth and the child's name, together with other related facts, are made matters Of public record. Birth registration is necessary in order to prove, among other things, the child's age and citizenship, his right to go to school, his right to go to work, to inherit property, to marry, to hold office, to secure passports for foreign travel, and to prove his mother's right to a pension, if she is a widow. Parents should make sure that this protection Of funda mental rights is assured to every child born to them. If there is any doubt about whether the birth of a child has been registered, an inquiry may be sent to the State board of health at the State capital, where the records are filed. If there is no birth record, the board will furnish a blank which may then be filled out and returned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
