| Abstract | |
This research analyzed the proposal of assistance and education of rejected children in an catholic orphanage in the city of Piracicaba, interior of São Paulo, in the end of the XIX century and beginning of the XX century. In existence to this day, with the name of the Lar Escola Coração de Maria, the Asilo de Nossa Mãe was founded in 1896 as an institution directed toward the gathering of orphaned and rejected children, with the objective of assisting, educating, civilizing, and teaching of values to these girls, transforming them, according to its regiment, into mothers of poor families. The research attempted to contribute to the understanding of the process of assistance of the rejected child, analyzing, for that reason, the representation of the poor child's place in society during that period o f time, the measures taken, as well as, the significance of this orphanage in relation to the proposals of assistence present in the documents at the orphanage. In examining the process of creation and the performance of the Asilo de Nossa Mãe, this dissertation has the objective to observe the act ions of all parties involved in the development of these proposals of assistance in the city, as well as the product ion of speeches concerning the assistance of poor children as well as debates about the theme. Thus, the research tried to analyze the relationship between these proposals of assistance and catholic education and those of liberal and nonreligious practices, defended by the republicans, paralleled with the initiatives of establishing what is called the "modern" school. Aiming to analyze the practices of assistance and education instituted by the Franciscan Sisters of the Heart of Mar y wit h the vision of shaping young girls, the work took as sources the first internal regulation of the orphanage and its statute and the local papers, aside from other documents from the institution and the city.
