The present research aims to analyze the discourses on Science and Education
that circulated in the pages of the newspaper Folha do Norte in the years 1896 and
1897, which lasted seventy - eight years, beginning its activities in January 1896
and circulating daily until 1974. The newspaper Folha do Norte was a newspaper of
great importance in the history of the press in Pará, for being involved in the political
scene, especially in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, being a strong
supporter of the Federal Republican Party, led by Lauro Sodré, who fiercely
opposed the policy of Antônio Lemos, owner of the newspaper The Province of
Pará. Our object of study is the newspaper Folha do Norte, which included in its
publications the political news and other topics, although we tried to collect those
that were related to our objective that was the news about Science and Education.
in all the available copies in the Digital Library of the National Library of the years of
1896 and 1897, finding columns and loose notes that spread scientific news and
about public education, among them, the columns "Revistinha Scientífica" and
"Respiga Scientífica" that they brought news related to science. News about the
Roentgen Rays or X-Rays were also present on the pages of this newspaper that
were mainly used for our analysis to seek to question whether these notes
constructed positive or negative images about the sciences and how these images
were constructed? There were also news items dealing with educational and
organizational issues, including invitations to take admission exams, call students
for second-call tests, and others. We also found a column entitled "Public
Instruction", which dealt with matters related to the regulation voted in the year
1896; classification of schools in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places of the cities of the
interior and of the capital, as well as other notes that related to the events that
occurred in educational institutions in Pará. However, we did not find news that
talked about science and education together.
