Why Births Should Be Registered
There is hardly a relation of life, social, legal, or economic, in which thc
evidence furnished by an accurate registration of births may not prove to be
of the greatest value, not only to the individual but also to the public at
large. It is not only an act of civilization to register birth certificates but
good business, for they are frequently used in many practical ways, some of
which are listed below:
(I) As evidence to prove the age and legitimacy of heirs;
(2) As proof of age to determine the validity of a contract entered into
by an alleged minor;
(3) As evidence to establish age and proof of citizenship and descent in
order to vote;
(4) As evidence to establish the right of admission to the professions
and to many public offices.
(5) As evidence of legal age to marry;
(6) As evidence to prove the claims of widows and orphans under the
widows' and orphans' pension law;
(7) As evidence to determine the liability of parents for the debts of
a minor;
(8) As evidence in the administration of estates, the settlement of insur.
ance and pensions;
(9) As evidence to prove the irresponsibility of children under legal age
for crime and misdemeanor, and various other matters in the criminal code;
(10) As evidence in the enforcement of law relating to education and
to child labor;
(II) As evidence to determine the relations of guardians and wards;
(12) As proof of citizenship in order to obtain a passport;
( 13) As evidence in the claim for exemption from or the right to jury
and military service.
