SUMMARY:

This research aims to investigate the São Francisco de Assis Asylum (São João del-Rei)
between 1888 and 1940 to understand its operation and the care given to orphan boys. We were
interested in understanding the Asylum's relationship with other institutions linked to it, besides
identifying the inmate boys and understanding the masculinities present in the context of the
boys' formation inserted in the São Francisco de Assis Asylum. The time frame is established
concerning the first movement of building up the Asylum in 1888 and ending in 1940, the year
in which the direction of the Asylum ceased to belong to the Instituto Padre Machado, becoming
the entire responsibility of the administrative board of the VOT and passing the education of
the sheltered boys to be taught in school groups in the city. For the research, several historical
sources were listed: the statute of the São Francisco de Assis Asylum; contracts signed between
the Asylum and the institutions linked to it; reports sent to the Secretary of the Interior; list of
minors admitted to the Asylum; minutes of VOT meetings; letters sent to different subjects and
institutions; photographs; besides newspapers, educational legislation and legislation for the
protection and assistance of minors. Concerning data analysis, understanding “power relations”
and the “production of knowledge and truth” allowed us to know better the care provided to
Sanjoanense orphan children from actions of the São Francisco de Assis Asylum and
institutions linked to it. The results point to the education of asylum seekers focused on physical
and moral faculties and learning arts and crafts to form disciplined citizens ready to serve the
working world and homeland. They still indicate the culture of masculinities, propagated at the
beginning of the Republic, inserted in the actions of the Asylum's formation of male individuals,
that is, the orderly, healthy, productive, and serviceable youth.
