Arrival Of August
Means Start Of School
Just Around Corner
Page Three - The Wylie News - Thursday, August 7, 1969
^hen the month of August
rolls around, thousands of
Texas mothers suddenly
realize that only a few
more weeks remain until
school begins.
Parents with youngsters
beginning school for the
first time this September
look forward to school
with a little more excite-
ment, and many mothers
whose first-born are
going off to school may be
a bit bewildered by it all.
In addition to the million-
and-one chores, that
must be performed in
getting the youngster
ready for school—new
shoes, clothes, health
examination — most
school districts require
proof of age for beginning
students. A certified copy
of a birth certificate is
usually requested,
reports the Texas State
Department of Health.
This fall there will be
256,000 new first graders
in the schools throughout
Texas, witji the^otfll public
school, enrollment
expected to reach
2,703,000., Continued
growth of the1 sphool popu-
lation is expected for the
next two to three years,
according to the Texas
Education Agenpy.
Anticipating the rush of
birth certificate requests
the Records and Statistics
Section of the Texas State
Department of Health has
been prepared for it.
Requests are pouring in.
It takes a sizeable staff
just to open the thousands
of letters received daily,
let alone search out a
requested certificate,
remove it from the thick
volume, make a certifi
copy, mail it out and then
return the original certi-
ficate to its proper place.
Years of experience have
eliminated nearly every
bottleneck. The operation
ope
na
Usually the copy is mailed
within a day or two after
the request is received.
One bottleneck still
remaining, however.is the
individual who makes the
last-minute request.
Parents are requested to
stop now and write for a
certified copy of the birth
certificate, or contact
either the city registrar
where the child was born
or the county clerk in the
county of birth.
If you write the Texas
State Department of
Health, Bureau of Vital
Statistics, 410 East Fifth
Street, Austin, Texas be
sure to: include the child's
name, place of birth, date
of birtn, and the parent's
name (including the
mother's maiden name.)
The State Health Depart-
ment fee for a certified
copy of the birth certi-
ficate is $1.50.
