The role of Freemasons in the process of modernization of the Brazilian education, dating back to the 19th century, supported by liberal ideas and enlightenment. Consolidates in the early decades of the Republican regime, influenced by positivist ideals and Jesuit oposiantion, in defense of public education, secular and mandatory. In Brazil, Freemasonry has adapted to the specific conditions and needs of regional where he settled. So it should not be understood in a univocal sense, being easier to identify the action and ideological engagement of Masons and not of Freemasonry. The present study, substantiated by the Cultural History, favours the use of Masonic periodicals and search highlight political practices of the Freemasons as intellectuals, managers, legislators, writers, journalists and teachers, as well as the Masonic Lodges as potential areas of social arrangements and ideological organization.
