GONCALVES NETO, Wenceslau. Capital e interior: manifestações em prol da instrução pública em Ouro Preto e Uberabinha (MG) nos anos iniciais da República Brasileira. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.02, pp.189-208. ISSN 0102-4698.

It is taken for granted that the towns of Minas Gerais carried out debates about popular education, mainly starting from March, 1892, when the town-halls were reopen. The sources used were the town council protocol books, law books and varied documents of the works of the representatives. In Uberabinha, wherein there was a clear lack of public schools, the council of representatives considered this function a major duty, whereupon laws of public education, school regulations, evening classes and literary circumscriptions were voted in 1892, while schools in the town were founded. In Ouro Preto, where there already were public schools, the attention of the town council was not on primary education. It must be observed that public education as a main concern did not present a homogeneous form in every town of Minas Gerais.

Palabras clave : Public Education; Education and Town Circumscription; Republic and Education.
