CHAPTER 46.

AN ACT to provide for the compulsory education of the deaf and providing penalties for a violation thereof.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

(1.) That every parent, guardian, or other person, residing in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, having the custody, control, care or supervision of any deaf child between the ages of seven and sixteen years, inclusive, shall cause said child to attend some public, private or parochial school, in this Commonwealth, wherein deaf children are taught, instructed and educated, for the full term, each year, for at least nine years.

(2.) This Act shall not apply in any case where the child is being taught in its home by an instructor who is competent and qualified to give instruction to the deaf; nor to any child who through its parents, guardian, or persons having such child in control, shall produce a certificate from the county board of health of the residence of the parent, guardian or person having control of such child, to the

1

effect that the child is not in proper mental or physical condition to be sent to any such school as above provided, nor to any deaf child who is successfully pursuing the course of study in some reputable public or private school for the hearing; nor to any child who is regularly enrolled as a pupil in a reputable school for the deaf or the hearing outside the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

(3.) Any parent, or guardian or person having such child under his or her control or supervision, who fails to comply with the provisions of this Act, shall upon conviction, in any court of competent jurisdiction, be fined in any sum not less than ten nor more than twenty-five dollars, for the first offense, and upon a conviction of a second or any subsequent offense or offenses, be fined not less than twenty-five nor more than fifty dollars, and the costs of the prosecution.

(4.) Any person, proceeded against under this Act, for a violation thereof, who, with the intent to evade the provisions of this law, shall make a false statement concerning the age of such child, as described above, or the length of time such child. has attended a school for the deaf, shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding fifty dollars, or be imprisoned in the county jail not to exceed thirty days, or both fined and imprisoned in the discretion of the court.

(5.) It shall discharge any person from liability under this Act, if it be satisfactorily shown to the court that at the time of the proceeding such school or schools in this Commonwealth as provide instruction and education for the deaf is then taxed to its capacity, and that there is no room or means of taking care of or instructing such child.

(6.) The county courts of this Commonwealth shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all cases wherein this Act is violated, and the case shall be prosecuted in the same manner as other cases of misdemeanor are prosecuted therein, and the county attorney of the county wherein the prosecution is had, shall attend and prosecute all violations of this Act.

(7.) A passport, a duly attested transcript of the certificate of birth or baptism, or a certified copy, under oath, of a record in the family Bible, or other religious record, showing the date and place of birth of such child, shall be received as evidence of age. In case that any of the foregoing records cannot be produced, then other evidence of the age of the child may be considered by the court.

(8.) It shall be the duty of the trustees, managers, or persons in charge of any public institution in this Commonwealth, whereat the deaf are received for instruction and education, to receive into such. institution any deaf child sent to such institution, while in session, unless it can be shown at the time that such institution is taxed to its capacity, and there is no room for, or means of taking care of such child, or that the physical condition of the child is such as to prevent study or to constitute a menace to the health of the other pupils of the institution; or that the child is mentally deficient and incapable of successfully pursuing the prescribed course of study of such institution; or that the habits and practices of the child are such as to constitute a detriment to the welfare of the other pupils of the institution, and when such child is so received he or she shall be cared for under the provisions of the statute at the time prevailing, regulating such institutions, and the by-laws prescribed by the trustees or managers for the government of such institutions,
