Abstract: This article presents the discussions about compulsory school education in Bahia, which were published in the newspapers O Correio da Bahia and, mainly, in O Monitor, between 1876 and 1881. Since this period preceded the 1890 Act that institutionalized the obligatory school education, the present paper attempts to answer the following questions: Which are the authors' conceptions about school compulsory education and why did they feed the discussions of this issue into the newspapers? The dialogue with Cruz and Peixoto (2007) allowed us to reflect on the disseminated propositions in the aforementioned language supports as a constitutive part of Education History of Bahia. It can be verified by the disputes feeding that newspapers used as a strategy to form readers identified with the political actions of writers who aimed to pass on their civic values and contents in order to reduce criminality and conquer the civilization.

Keywords : discussion in the press; compulsory school education; political project dissemination; history of education.
