Born in 1897 in a little town in the state of São Paulo, Manoel Bergström Lourenço Filho shared with Brazilians of his age all the tensions, anxieties and joys of being the son of a nation in search of its identity in the early twentieth century. This paper seeks to rebuild his career pointing out in the most significant moments the relationship between his concepts of nation, state and education and the proposals effect tively assumed under the Brazilian Ministry of Education and Health. This analysis allows clearly perceive the use that Lourenço Filho makes of his expertise to try to impose his educational concepts in the definition of the policy for the primary and normal education during the period under consideration.
