Theproposal for reflection, in this article, is part of a study on school institutions. This work is theresult of a documentary analysis based on primary sources cataloged by the NUCATHE(Center for Cataloging, Studies and Research in History of Education) of the State Universityof Paraná, Campus de União da Vitória (Brazil). The investigation took place in the ProfessorBalduíno Cardoso School Group, created in 1927, in the Municipality of Porto União, in thenorth of the State of Santa Catarina. This institution began its activities between the years of1917 and 1918 under the denomination of Schools Reunidas and is in operation until thepresent time. It is a School Group that initially offered the Primary Course and, following itsactivities, created the Primary Complementary Course (1928) and the Primary Normal School(1935).

The study is justified by the fact thatthis student is part of a group of other primary schools called School Groups and is subject tothe rigor of state school supervision in order to prove the fulfillment of the school program atthis established time.
