vaccinated; and it shall be the duty of all teachers in the public
schools within ten days after the beginning of the fall term of
said schools, and thereafter as new pupils shall enter such school,
to ascertain and enroll on the vaccine register of said school the
names of those pupils who may produce a certificate of a regular
practising physician of the county or city, as the case may be,
certifying that the pupil has been successfully vaccinated, and also
the names of those pupils who have been enrolled at any previous
term in any school of the county or in the City of Baltimore, as
the case may be, as successfully vaccinated pupils, whenever any
such pupil shall present a certificate of such enrollment from the
teacher of any such school. If any person shall apply for admission
as a pupil in any of the public schools of this State who has not
been successfully vaccinated, the teacher shall give the parents or
guardian or other person having control of such pupil an order
directed to any physician in the county or city, as the case may be,
and requiring any regular physician to whom it may be presented
to vaccinate such pupil and return a certificate of such vaccination
when successful to the teacher giving such order. The county com-
missioners of the several counties and the mayor and city council
of Baltimore City, as the case may be, shall or cause to be paid
to the physician performing the service on such order the sum of
fifty cents for every such successful vaccination on the presentation
of the order and certification of the teacher that such vaccination
has been performed; provided, that in the counties or in the City
of Baltimore, when vaccine physicians are appointed or contracts
made with certain physicians by the proper authorities for the
vaccination of all children or persons who may apply free of charge
to the person applying, the provisions of this section providing for
the payment of physicians' certified orders of teachers shall not
apply. Any teacher neglecting or refusing to comply with the pro-
visions of this section shall on conviction thereof before any justice
of the peace having jurisdiction over said offense, be fined ten
dollars for each and every offense. And no public school trustee or
commissioner shall grant any permit to any person who has not
been successfully vaccinated to enter as a pupil any public school
under the same penalty.

All fines imposed under the provisions of Sections 71-74 shall be

city in which such offense shall occur.]
