To investigate the way of how the Congregation of the Normal School has legitimated itself in the political and educational scenario in the last years of the 19th century and in the first years of the 20th century is the objective of my research. Born in the Regulation of 1880, the Congregation of the, at first design Normal School ated of The Court and after the republican regime, of The Federal District, was composed by the professors of the institution that administered classes in the course of teacher formation for public elementary schools of the city of Rio de Janeiro. These professors were intellectuals of diverse backgrounds, with educational experience, that would gather in meetings led by the director of the Normal School. The legitimation of the Congregation was at first granted by the Regulation of 1880, annexed to the Decree of creation, and was later conquered by the Regulation created by the Congregates in 1881, after the experience of one year working together. This research was instigated by a few documents, yet to be investigated, of the Centro de Memória Institucional of the Instituto Superior de Educação do Rio de Janeiro, which allowed me to know the political and educational action of these intellectuals that were part of the Congregation. Such sources, confronted with others from many other institutions of memory guarding, permitted a vision not only of the various actions of the Congregates, like their network of social contacts inside and outside of the Normal School, as well as their origin, the strategies utilized as political instrument and the role of Benjamin Constant Botelho de Magalhães, oldest leader of the group. The political intervention of the Congregation, fruit of the work achieved in the Normal School allowed the creation of a self image of the executors of the civilizing process in course in the end of the Empire and in the beginning of the Republic. The clashes faced by this group, that differentiated itself in the field of intellectuality through knowledge in teacher formation, shows the intransigent defense of the conquered legitimacy and the use of instruments of their own intellectuality so as not to lose it.
