AB Between the 19th and 20th centuries, a school subject of health education was introduced and developed in Spain, the so-called subject of Hygiene: its origin and development were parallel to the health situation, with both educational and preventive objectives and motivated by the health situation in Spain, which was very serious and had a significant impact on the health of the population. 	Illness in the 19th century was considered by hygienist doctors to be the result of ignorance, misery and neglect, and this, together with the seriousness of the health situation in Spain, implied a pressing social need to apply an education that included the extension of practical and preventive notions of Hygiene, then defined as the art of preserving and improving health. 	The work covers a long period between 1870 and 1930, during which the subject of Hygiene existed at all times, and which was already established and introduced as a school subject at the end of the 19th century and compulsory in primary education at the beginning of the 20th century. The continuous presence of this subject in school curricula and the very large number of school textbooks on Hygiene corroborate the transcendence and implementation of this subject, since its origin invoked as a health and social necessity.To confirm the preventive and educational nature of this Hygiene subject, as a proposal of social medicine to improve knowledge and, ultimately, the health of the population, it is necessary to analyze the educational content of the texts or manuals of the subject, to see if they responded to the preventive needs in the face of health problems of the population and if they evolved according to knowledge about the most relevant health problems, as was its preventive and educational objective.This information can only be gathered by analyzing these hygiene manuals, and to this end, this work conducts qualitative research with content analysis of these texts. This provides us with data and conclusions to confirm the objectives and hypothesis of this thesis.Keywords: Hygiene, education, and school; subject of hygiene; health education; school textbooks, 19th and 20th centuries
