is hereby authorized and empowered to administer such oath. If the board
of trustees shall find such teacher qualified for active service, he or she
shall report to the County Superintendent of Public Instruction of said
Allegany County, whenever required so to do by the Board of Trustees,
and said superintendent shall assign such teacher to such service or em-
ployment as may be within his or her power to perform, in the judgment
of such superintendent and of the examining physician employed by said
board of trustees. During the time of such employment such teacher shall
receive the regular salary therefor, and shall cease to be entitled to any
payment out of said fund because of disability or incapacity on account
of which said teacher was originally retired. Any teacher who may be
retired under Section 594 and assigned for active duty under this sec-
tion, for the purpose of later retirement under this Act, shall be consid-
ered as having been in active service during the period of the former
retirement.

597. Any teacher retired under the provisions of this Act shall con-
tinue as an employee of the Board of School Commissioners, but shall
be compensated from the Teachers' Retirement Fund provided for in
this Act, and it shall be the duty of every teacher so retired to render,
without extra compensation, such teaching services and at such times as
the Board of School Commissioners shall direct; provided the Board of
School Commissioners shall not direct any such retired teacher to per-
form any teaching service except such as the board of trustees may certify
to the Board of School Commissioners to be in the reasonable physical
power of such retired teacher, and provided further, that no such retired
teacher shall be required to render teaching service for a longer period than
15 days in any school year.

1912, ch. 463, sec. 13.

598. The Board of Trustees shall establish a permanent fund, to the
credit of which shall be put and deposited all gifts, grants, devises and
bequests, all other receipts for the first two years during which this Act
shall have become operative, except so much of such receipts as the Board
of Trustees may require during said two years to defray its expenses, and
the unexpended balance remaining at the end of each fiscal year there-
after. And no part thereof shall be expended except the interest and
income thereof and therefrom; provided, however, that one-half of the
amount added to such permanent fund during any year may be used, if
necessary, during the year immediately following.

1912, ch. 463, sec. 14.

599. This Act shall not affect in any way the power of the Board of
School Commissioners to remove teachers from service under the laws now
in force.
