not exceeding three years, require a new examination of any
person receiving a pension under class A, as aforesaid, to deter-
mine whether the said person is still incapable of rendering
efficient service as a teachér by reason of mental or physical in-
firmity or old age, and if either of said board shall be of opinion
that the said disability no longer exists, the State board of
education shall after thirty days’ notice remove the said re-
cipient of a pension from the said retired teachers’ list, and in
the event of either voluntary retirement or such removal, the
pensioner shall no longer receive a pension unless re-instated
as hereinafter provided.

tificates as he possessed at the time he made application to be
placed on the retired teachers’ list.

3. Any person so removed from the retired teachers’ list or
who voluntarily retires therefrom may be restored to said list at
any time, either under class A or class B, by making applica-
tion on forms prepared for that purpose by the superintendent

ninth, nineteen hundred and ten.
