RETIREMENT LAW Is NOT
FOR TRUANT OFFICERS

An opinion transmitted to the state
superintendent of public instruction
by the attorney generals office holds
that truant officers, visiting house
keepers hired by school boards to as
sist the mothers of delinquent chill
dren, home demonstration agents,
and persons working in their own
home on bulletin material for the
State College are not included within
the provisions of the teachers retire
ment fund of Washington.
The opinion further holds that if
a teacher complies with all the pro-
visions of the act and after retiring
suspends her annuities and teaches
again. there is no objection to her
again drawing her annuities when she
retires the second time. The attor-
ney general holds that teacher re-
firing after 35 years of service. and
otherwise complying with the provi-
sions of the act, would have to make
payments, or receive credits up to
1920 before she could draw any an
nuity subsequent to the passage OF
the 1919 amendment. Any annuity
due at the time the 1919 amendment
went into effect would be due the
teacher whether she had made pay
ments up to 1920 or not, as such an
nuity would be a vested property
right in the teacher, of which she
could not be Invested by giving re-
troactive construction to the 1919
amendment which imposed such adj
ditional regulation.
