(Detail from “Salad of the Week”) “Discussions and opinions on the hygienic inspection of schools continue; but, like all the serious assumptions of this country, they never go beyond the theoretical and verbose terrain, and it is likely that this will also be seen now… How many adjuncts, teachers and students do not drag an existence already reached by tuberculosis, living in a criminal promiscuity!… Why not take an energetic decision to avoid a greater harm?”
(O Malho, Rio de Janeiro, 1911)
