<p>Code 1906, § 4526, like Code 1892, § 4007, providing that the conditions of eligibility imposed on school trustees under the general law shall apply to trustees of separate school districts, and that they shall be subject to the same penalties and to removal from office by the municipal board for neglect of duty, but containing the additional provision that no person who is a trustee of a private sectarian school in the same separate school district shall be eligible, and Code 1906, § 4527, like Code 1892, § 4008, providing the terms of school trustees, and declaring that existing trustees of separate school districts shall remain in office according to the terms of their appointment or designation, unless selected under the general law, the provisions of the code of 1906 are not retroactive so as to cause the removal of trustees of separate school districts selected under the general law before said code went into effect, and who were then competent to serve.</p>
