Education;CasaPia;BlackOrphans; Labor.
In this study, we aim to analyze the insertion of "black" orphans in the Casa Pia and Colégio dos Órfãos de São Joaquim at the beginning of the First Republic. The main object of this study is the education provided by the Casa to the orphans and their possible destinations after the period of asylum. By analyzing the departure of the students it is possible to observe the decline of the institution's role in the intermediation of labor as well as the worsening of the conditions of survival of the poorest population in Republican Salvador. In this way, we try to understand the experiences of schooling and work between 1893 to 1927. The main sources of this research were the statutes of the Casa Pia, one from 1828 and the other from 1910, the minutes books, the orphans' registration folders and the terms of exit.
