El Informe del Ministro de Instrucción Pública al Congreso de 1913, fue elaborado durante la presidencia de Carlos E. Restrepo (1867-1937), luego del Censo de la República de Colombia de 1912. Del informe y sus cifras, que merecen aún un análisis exhaustivo, se desprende que el gobierno buscaba orientar la educación hacia el desarrollo de la industria y de la agricultura. También se evidencia una preocupación por el espinoso tema de las pensiones y jubilaciones de los maestros de escuela, y por el asunto de la “civilización” de los pueblos indígenas en las fronteras.

Este censo registró 5.472.604 habitantes, pero más allá de este dato significó un verdadero hito en la historia estadística, administrativa y política del país. Los diferentes conflictos armados internos habían hecho imposible la realización o publicación de censos nacionales entre 1870 y 1905 (y los resultados de este último no fueron publicados sino hasta 1917), lo cual generaba grandes dificultades administrativas y políticas, tanto a nivel fiscal, como a nivel electoral. Así que más que el propio conocimiento de las cifras –de por sí clave para un gobierno moderno- lo que importaba de un censo era la propia capacidad del Estado de empadronar su población, esto es de ejercer un dominio sobre toda su población en todo el territorio.

C. Wright Mills has been forgotten by sociological theories however there is no doubt about how much he contributed to the field of Epistemology. He successfully participated in the American Sociology of Knowledge and, at the same time, he  upheld the tradition of the Conflict Theory, including the sociological dimension into one of the most questioned political subjects of his period. Undoubtedly,  Wright Mills was morally committed to the value of reason and freedom. His central issue was to analyse the real possibilities for a particular individual within  a particular social order to become a free man capable of reasoning. He wondered how someone could be able to transcend his daily nature through reason and  experience and to act accordingly to his power. The power and political processes were constant in his works, since he claimed that any political process was a  struggle for power and prestige, for authoritative positions, both within each nation  and among the different states. On the other hand, he  bserved that the social  structure in the United States of America was not completely democratic, since the  course of action depended on the decision of a small group of wealthy, powerful individuals. These concentrating spaces of power amongst some economic, military  and political corporations were supported by their underlying ideology, a fact that became clearer when referring to international affairs. Nowadays, in a world of  structural antagonisms, wars and rebellions, the need for looking at the work  of intellectuals like Mills re-emerges. Mills showed us a way in which a complex entity as power can be understood, and, at the same time, the need to consider the  course of history, its mechanics and process.
