In the first decades of the XX century, the Brazilian educators seized a collection of ideas for themselves concerning educational renovation, which we have agreed to call New School. The ideas inspired by this New School, that is to say, the “escolanovistas” ideas, permeated by different strands of thought, have leaded the educational reform and the educational practice up to the 60s. In this reform programme, the publication of books was one of the main strategies to disclose values and knowledge aiming at complying with the teaching practice. From the middle of the 40s onwards, there was a renovation of the worries with the theoretical and practical aspects related to teachers’formation, having the pedagogical manuals undertaken the function of guide to the teacher. Some of their authors were “escolanovistas”, who belonged to the catholic group, such as Amaral Fontoura, author of the manual entitled Education Principles (Fundamentos da Educação), the first book of the Brazilian Library Didactic Collection (Coleção Biblioteca Didática Brasileira), signed by this author, which had great acceptance in the Teacher’s Formation Schools in the country.
