The present article analyses the administration of Celeste Gobbato in the municipality of Caxias from the year of 1924 to 1928. Gobbato immigrated from Italy hired by the State government to work in the Engineering School of Porto Alegre as a professor. With superior education and P.H.D. in Agrarian Sciences, besides his consistent performance in the field of viticulture and teaching, he was nominated and took over Caxias intendancy in the 1920 decade. He came to power in the name of political conciliation and elected education as one of the priority targets. His administration was remarkable either for the expansion of municipal schools and investments in rural education, either for the construction and opening of the Agricultural Patronage. This article seeks to evidence the strategies put into play for the promotion of education in the period of his administration, which sought to expand school offer, increase attendance and improve rural education.

Keywords : Municipal Education; Rural Teaching; Agricultural Patronage.
