Abstract: This study presents an investigation of the standpoint of the intellectual Manoel Bomfim (1868-1932) against the debate on the relation: State and primary education in parliamentary speeches delivered between the years of 1907 and 1908, currently available in the collection Documentos Parlamentares: Instrução Pública (Parliamentary Documents: Public Education), published in 1918 by the Jornal do Comércio (.Journal Trade). The position assumed by this author occurs in a context characterized by the attempts of free labor organization, structuring of the Republic, preparing the people for the exercise of citizenship and the coming of social demands that required investments in popular education.
