This study is the result of a research that aimed to investigate, in a historical perspective, the life trajectory of the teacher Zilma Coelho Pinto and her pedagogical planning in favor of literacy, social assistance and professionalization, during the first Adolescent and Adult Education Campaign (CEAA), created in the 1940s, by the Ministry of Education and Public Health in Brazil. Based on extensive research on documentary sources such as: newspapers, magazines, government reports and interviews with family members and assistants of the campaign, it was possible to analyze that the literacy proposed by Zilma involved other contents, such as values and behaviors concerns about hygiene, health and morals. The lessons of civilization had, in the students, the recipients. In order to do this, we used Norbert Elias’s concept of Civilizing Process (1993, 1994, 1997) to understand the CEAA and Zilma’s literacy work as a field of action of the modern sanitary organization through an ethos of civility, which focused on providing services to adolescents, young adults, adults, the poor, mestizos and illiterates, in the State of Espírito Santo.
