This investigation illustrates the way in which early twentieth century pedagogical rea-soning outlines the importan ce of the School as a powerful instrument in national developement and regeneration. But an analysis of the situation clearly reveals the state of neglect to which the question of education is left as far as the educational administration is con-cerned, a situation that gives rise to strong criticism of the pedagogical intervention on the part of the politicians in power at the time, and a consideration of the school as a matter of social biology. lt is in this contex that the following circunstances acquire significance: concem about the graded school as a system of organization to which to adjust teaching, consideration of organization school premises, the matter of giving professional and social prestige to teaching, the problem of extending education to all the children of school age and the problem of the teacher-pupil ratio, educational material, teacher training, the reform of school inspection, the incorporation of the cost of primary education into the State Budget, and others.
