The proposal stops at the triad of observation (childhood, schools and rurality) in the third meeting or Children's Congress that brought together experts and specialists. The event brought together representatives from the educational field in different commissions and especially in rural education in a province with a large territory to be literate. In the years of Manuel de Iriondo's anti-personalist radical government, educational policies in rural areas acquired particular relevance. During those years, meetings of experts were promoted (architects, doctors, lawyers and teachers) who would be part of the specialized knowledge gathered in the provincial Children's Congresses. In particular, the proposal is to focus on the proposals, debates and considerations of the first National Conference of Psychotechnics and related branches (1938), as well as the education section of the Third Provincial Children's Congress. The rural school is an object of debate and a fundamental device in the formulation of public education policies for the protection, regulation of knowledge and bodies, the training of teachers as a response to concern for a childhood considered threatened in a society in transition.
