Resumen:
Sumario:At the end of the nineteenth century, Uruguay began its first period of national construction. School reform of 1877 led by Jose Pedro Varela played a key role in this process. In this paper I study how the school built the cultural and linguistic borders by creating rural schools and the preoccupation for the use of Portuguese in border rural schools, representing it as a threat to nationality. I analyze of pedagogical works and written reports by Varela being National Inspector of Education and other documents of the school reform. First I present the historical and socio- educational context of the country and the figure of Varela. Then I discuss the place assigned to the language and the school, particularly to rural schools.
