"There shall be but one secondary ecclesiastical school in each department; the Grand-Master will designate those that are to be maintained; the others are to be closed.
None of them shall be in the country.

All those not situated in a town provided with a lycee or with a college shall be closed.

All the buildings and furniture belonging to the ecclesiastic schools not retained shall be seized and confiscated for the benefit of the University.

"In all places where ecclesiastical schools exist, the pupils of these schools shall be taken to the lycee or college and join its classes." Finally, "all these schools shall be under the control of the University; they must be organized only by her; their prospectus and their regulations must be drawn up by the council of the University at the suggestion of the Grand Master.

The teaching must be done only by members of the University at the disposition of the Grand Master." In like manner, in the lay schools, at Sainte-Barbe for example,[6120] every professor, private tutor, or even common superintendent, must be provided with a special authorization by the University.
