furnished without charge to any child applying therefor by

(2) A certificate signed by a physician appointed by the
officer authorized to issue such permit stating that such child
has been examined by him, and, in his opinion, has reached
the normal physical development of a child of its age, and is
in sufficiently sound health and physically able to be employed
in the occupation or process for which a permit is applied for.

years old or upwards, which shall consist of one of the follow-

designated as follows:

(a) A duly attested transcript of the birth certificate filed
according to law with a register of vital statistics, or other
officer charged with the duty of recording births, which cer-
tificate shall be prima facie evidence of the age of such child.

(b) A passport or a duly attested transcript of a certificate

school records of such child or the affidavit of parent, guardian,
legal custodian or next friend), may be accepted in lieu there-
of. In such case a school census or enumeration record, duly
attested, may be used as proof of age in the discretion of the
officer issuing the certificate.
