This ?lite of which the University is thus robbed must be got back.
Since the young do not attend the lyc?e because they like it, they
must come through necessity; to this end, other issues are rendered
difficult and several are entirely barred; and better still, all those
that are tolerated are made to converge to one sole central outlet, a
university establishment, in such a way that the director of each
private school, changed from a rival into a purveyor, serves the
university instead of injuring it and gives it pupils instead of
taking them away. In the first place, his high standard of
instruction is limited;[17] even in the country and in the towns that
have neither lyc?e nor college, he must teach nothing above a fixed
degree; if he is the principal of an institution, this degree must not
go beyond the class of the humanities; he must leave to the faculties
of the State their domain intact, differential calculus, astronomy,
geology, natural history and superior literature. If he is the master
of a boarding-school, this degree must not extend beyond grammar
classes, nor the first elements of geometry and arithmetic; he must
leave to State lyc?es and colleges their domain intact, the humanities
properly so called, superior lectures and means of secondary
instruction.
