摘要：http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1984-9222.2014v7n13p27 This article discusses how medical and scientific knowledge in the early decades of the twentieth century was expressed in the theses of the College of Medicine and Surgery of São Paulo and used to form proposals for education in terms of the health of working-class children (understood as a working child or the daughter of workmen and laborers). The article also looks at how this knowledge spread over the discussions held by labor militants concerning the health of child workers inside and outside factories at a time when ideas of anarchism were at their most influential among the workforce (from the turn of the century to the 1920s). I highlight the discussions regarding child labor and the working mother, who was first and foremost responsible for the health of those children.
