RECORDING OF BIRTHS
Births occuring late in the year are sometimes record- ed without the Christian name. In all such cases parents should return the name to the Town Clerk as soon as it is selected in order that it may be entered upon the town books as an incompleteness of the records may involve much trouble in the future.
Read the Law
Parents within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder within forty days after a birth in its house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born. General Laws, Chapter 46, Section 6.
Why Births Should Be Recorded
There is hardly a relation of life-social, legal or economic- in which the evidence furnished by an accurate registration of births may not prove to be one 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:
(1) 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;

(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;
(11) As evidence to determine the relations of guardians and wards;
