§ 179. Appropriate for administration in deputations and commissions are:
a) church matters.
Each church has a head superintendent from the magistracy and two superintendents from the community to provide for the Externa.
b) school affairs.
The authorities who run internal affairs reserve the right to make special determinations.
The external affairs are attended to by a member of the magistracy as head superintendent, with the necessary superintendents from the citizenry.
In large and mid-sized cities with academic schools, these will maintain their special superintendents, as will the other schools, in the appropriate measure.
c) care for the poor will be supervised by a deputation. [ . . . ]
