This paper analyzes the content of the reports of the general inspectors of the Public Instruction in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from the notions of material and visual school culture, comparing them with other documentary sources and with specialized bibliography. It points to the existence of a concern, followed by action in equipping and provide schools with the innovations of the embryonic educational products market, with views to "civilization" of the population in the positivist model. It notes that State technical professionals were attentive to the practices used in other countries. It concludes that economic and logistics solutions to maintain the supply of this material were created and distinguishes amongst them the school series from Julio de Castilhos Museum, the furniture manufactured in the workshops of the House of Correction and the local adaptation and edition of textbooks.
