ABSTRACT This article aims at discussing how São Paulo has been organized administratively and financially to be responsible for the creation and the expansion of the public, modern, mandatory and mass school, from the first Paulista law of the mandatory school, the n. 9 Law, March 22nd, 1874. The final temporal delimitation is 1908, the year when it was regulated the operation of the warehouse of the Countryside Business State Secretary, with the specific role of acquiring, collecting, and distributing the whole teaching material to the public schools. The methodological procedure consists on taking the school materiality as a conducting wire asking how the State was, gradually, acting on the school openings and on the supply of the necessary materials and furniture to their functioning. It is highlighted, on the one hand, that the public and school administration has been more complex and formal on the school service delivery. On the other hand, it is evident that the internal demands of the teaching institutions also boosted and required a bigger administrative organization, such as the creation of some organizations and the hiring of workers to take care of the buying and the distribution of the material and the furniture to the schools spread though the Paulista territory. Taking into account some sources, such as the correspondences and crafts solicitation of buying of the school objects, the register books of materials of the Public Instruction, the budgets, among others, it is possible to recognize how this modern school demanded a bigger investment of the State to supply the school mandatory.
