He is nothing beyond a watched and serviceable auxiliary, a subaltern, a University tutor and "coach," a sort of unpaid, or rather paying, schoolmaster and innkeeper in its employ.
All this does not yet suffice.

Not only does the State recruit its day-scholars in his establishment but it takes from him his boarding-scholars.

"On and after the first of November 1812,[6119] the heads of institutions and the masters of boarding-schools shall receive no resident pupils in their houses above the age of nine years, until the lycee or college, established in the same town or place where there is a lycee, shall have as many boarders as it can take." This complement shall be 300 boarders per lycee; there are to be "80 lycees in full operation "during the year 1812, and 100 in the course of the year 1813, so that, at this last date, the total of the complement demanded, without counting that of the colleges, amounts to 30,000 boarding-scholars.

Such is the enormous levy of the State on the crop of boarding-school pupils.

It evidently seizes the entire crop in advance; private establishments, after it, can only glean, and through tolerance.
In reality, the decree forbids them to receive boarding-scholars; henceforth, the University will have the monopoly of them.
The proceedings against the small seminaries, more energetic competitors, are still more vigorous.
