CAMARA, Sônia. Inspeção sanitária escolar e educação da infância na obra do médico Arthur Moncorvo Filho. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.03, pp.57-86. ISSN 2238-0094.

This article reflects on the concepts that mobilized the creation of the School Sanitary Inspection Service designed by the physician Arthur Moncorvo Filho, in the administration of Mayor Serzedello Corrêa, in Distrito Federal in 1910. The purpose of the Service was to expand the field of medical practice toward childhood, disseminating hygienic precepts to more people in society at that time. Thinking of how medical knowledge gave perspective to school and social subjects, contributes to the understanding of how the medical and educational knowledge established interfaces and profiles, which conditioned the invention of the place of normal and abnormal children in school, in the first decades of the republic in Brazil.
