This process influenced the form of teaching in diferents scientific disciplines, as: grammar, math, calculus, geometry, biology, zoology, among others. Here will be treated the case of the Lasalian pedagogy, which illustrates the ''systematic'' and ''Rational'' way of teaching within methodical basis. To demonstrate those mentioned aspects, a ''corpus' of eighteen (18) arithmetic books by G.M. Bruño, which were published between 1900-1930, have been selected and subudued to a content analysis.
