This article analyses the representations of death in different articles published in Vida Escolar («School Life») – a pedagogical journal produced by a student body of the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso state, central Western Brazil. Published by the Visconde de Taunay School, Vida Escolar circulated in the 1930s (between 1934 and 1936), and we analysed nineteen of the 22 published issues – archived at the Regional Documentation Center of the Federal University of Grande Dourados – for this article. This research helps to fill the gaps in knowledge surrounding the themes of death and childhood in the history of education in Brazil, especially in the central Western region. It reveals that the representations of death presented by and for children are closely related to civism, religiosity and medical science. Indeed, analysis of the journal Vida Escolar shows that death, as an interdiction, is related to the advancement of medicine; at the beginning of the 20th century, with the development of medical science, death came to be seen as synonymous with failure, as an absence of «scientificity». As emphasized in Vida Escolar, it is the job of medicine to prevent death – this was the message given to the students, future doctors.

Objetos, mobiliários e fotografias, enquanto documentos, contam-nos histórias e nos permitem refletir sobre o que se passou, reverberando um tempo por vezes distante e respondendo a questionamentos a eles feitos. Partindo desse pressuposto, buscamos, neste estudo, analisar os processos educativos que se passaram na cidade de São Leopoldo/RS, no início do século XX, particularmente entre os anos de 1905 e 1940. Para isso, tomamos como documento os mobiliários escolares, especialmente no que tange a fotografias e objetos escolares em exposição salvaguardados no Museu Histórico Visconde São Leopoldo. Os objetos foram registrados por meio fotográfico, catalogados e analisados a partir de sua materialidade. A análise realizada tem como temática a cultura material da escola à luz dos estudos realizados por Antonio Viñao Frago (1995, 2006), Rosa Fátima de Souza (2007) e Hernández Díaz (2002). Entendemos que o conjunto de objetos aqui analisados apresenta uma cultura escolar de práticas locais, em consonância com uma cultura nacional e, até mesmo, internacional. Dessa forma, as considerações finais apresentam contribuições para a História da Educação local e geral.Palavras-chave: Objetos escolares. História da Educação.

Under this assumption, we seek, in this study, to analyze the educational processes that occurred in the city of São Leopoldo/RS, at the beginning of the 20th century, particularly between the years 1905 and 1940. In this regard, we consider as documents the school furnishings, especially concerning exposed photographs and school objects safeguarded in the Visconde de São Leopoldo Historical Museum. The objects were photographed, catalogued, and analyzed from their materiality. The conducted analysis approaches the material culture of schools considering the studies undertaken by Antonio Viñao Frago (1995, 2006), Rosa Fátima de Souza (2007), and Hernández Díaz (2002). We understand that the set of objects analyzed here presents a school culture of local practices, in accord with a national culture, and even with an international one. Therefore, the final remarks present contributions to the local and general History of Education.Keywords: School objects. History of Education.

Lviv occupies a special place in the history of Poland. With its heroic history, it has earned the exceptionally honorable name of a city that has always been faithful to the homeland. SEMPER FIDELIS – always faithful. Marshal Józef Piłsudski sealed that title while decorating the city with the Order of Virtuti Militari in 1920. The past of Lviv, the always smoldering and uncompromising Polish revolutionist spirit, the climate, and the atmosphere that prevailed in it created the right conditions for making it the center of thought and independence movement in the early 20th century. In the early twentieth century, Polish independence organizations of various political orientations were established, from the ranks of which came legions of prominent Polish politicians and military and social activists.

We seek to understand the medical orientation to promote hygienic education in the João Barbalho school, a structure created to be the model of a republican school institution in Pernambuco. The period covers the creation of the Group and the process of expansion of these institutions in Pernambuco. Required documents, reports of school groups, educational legislation, and hygiene theses of the studied period were analyzed. This research is based theoretically and methodologically on the assumptions of cultural history, and studies related to the history of education in Brazil. We perceive that Pernambuco school groups were formed late compared to groups from other Brazilian states. To ensure the proper functioning guidelines, should be followed: the practice of physical education, anthropometric examinations, and intelligence tests to establish the profile of students for the constitution of homogeneous classes intellectually, physically and racially.

The first half of the 20th century was a turning point in the history of India with provincial rulers making significant development that had positive contribution and lasting influence on India’s growth. They served as architects, influencing not only the socio-cultural and economic growth but also the development of urban built form. Sayajirao Gaekwad III was the Maharaja of Baroda State from 1875 to 1939, and is notably remembered for his reforms. His pursuit for education led to establishment of Maharaja Sayajirao University and the Central Library that are unique examples of Architecture and structural systems. He brought many known architects from around the world to Baroda including Major Charles Mant, Robert Chrisholm and Charles Frederick Stevens. The proposals of the urban planner Patrick Geddes led to vital changes in the urban form of the core city area. New materials and technology introduced by these architects such as use of Belgium glass in the flooring of the central library for introducing natural light were revolutionary for that period. Sayajirao’s vision for water works, legal systems, market enterprises have all been translated into unique architectural heritage of the 20th century which signifies innovations that had a lasting influence on the city’s social, economic, administrative structure as well as built form of the city and its architecture. This paper demonstrates how the reformist ideas and vision of an erstwhile provincial ruler lead to significant architecture at the turn of the century in Princely state of Vadodara.

Dentre os aspectos abordados estão as contribuições do instituto para a construção de conhecimentos sobre a História da Educação no Brasil; as relações dos sócios do instituto com instituições de ensino e órgãos administrativos da educação; e os projetos de criação de cursos da Academia de Altos Estudos.  Nesse sentido, propomos considerar o IHGB como um lugar de poder atuante nos conflitos políticos relativos ao campo educacional e como instância produtora de políticas e projetos educacionais no início do século XX. Como fontes para essas questões foram utilizadas publicações e atas da Revista do IHGB, bem como documentos de arquivos de instituições relacionadas e periódicos existentes durante o recorte.* * *This article presents some results of the research trajectory on the teaching of the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute (IHGB) in education.

In this sense, we propose to consider the IHGB as a place of power that is active in political conflicts related to the educational field, and as a producer of policies and educational projects in the early twentieth century. As sources for these issues, publications and minutes of the IHGB Review were used as well as archives of related and periodical institutions existing during the period.

La referencia constante al civismo es uno de los rasgos más distintivos de la historia urbana de Pereira. Al igual que en muchas ciudades colombianas, la ideología del civismo asume la necesidad de establecer una especie de simbiosis entre la ciudad, sus espacios públicos y sus ciudadanos, tanto en lo material como en lo espiritual. En el caso de Pereira se busca identificar los aspectos más relevantes del discurso cívico que desarrollaron entidades como la Sociedad de Mejoras y el Club Rotario a través de diferentes medios escritos, poniendo especial énfasis en los valores morales que debían exhibir los ciudadanos cívicos o los "ciudadanos de bien" de la ciudad, en el proceso de transformación y modernización vivido a lo largo del siglo XX.Palabras clave: discurso, civismo, prensa, clubes y sociedades, historia local, siglo XX.The discourse of civism in Pereira, or The “sacredness” of public matters during the 20th century AbstractThe constant reference to civism is one of the most distinct characteristics of the urban history of Pereira. Similar to many Colombian cities, the ideology of civism assumes that there is a need to establish a kind of symbiosis between the city, its public spaces, and its citizens, in material as well as spiritual matters. In the case of Pereira, the author seeks to identify the most relevant aspects of the civic discourse which developed entities like the Improvement Society and the Rotary Club, through different written means, putting special emphasis on the moral values which the civic citizens (or ciudadanos de bien) must have exhibited in the process of transformation and modernization experienced throughout the 20th century. Keywords: discourse, civism, press, clubs and societies, local history, twentieth century.
