Third Schedule.
You are hereby required to send your child, C.D., between the ages of seven and thirteen years, to a public school; and if you fail to do so you will be summoned before two Justices of the Peace to answer for such neglect.
If your said child is (1) under efficient instruction otherwise than at a public school, or (2) if it is prevented from attending school by sickness or unavoidable cause, or (3) if the road between the child's residence and the nearest public school is not sufficiently passable for your child, or (4) if you have obtained a certificate in writing from a Government Inspector of Schools or the master of any public school that your child has reached the standard of education prescribed by the Regulations, and if you satisfy the School Committee of any of these facts, you will receive a certificate exempting you from sending your child to school.
