Abstract


The Emigrant Library-School “Ostolaza Foundation” started its activity in Deva (Guipúzcoa, Spain) in de academic year 1928- 1929, and was founded by José Manuel Ostolaza, an Indian-Devarian philanthropist who had been living there during his childhood and adolescence. A sour controversy between Vitoria´s Bishop, Monsignor Múgica Urrestarazu –supported by the most intransigent Catholic newspapers– and defenders of Ostolaza Foundation was unleashed in the private and public spheres, at the beginning of de third school year, regarding a few books which, according to the first group, should not swell the shelves of the quoted library. The dispute, in what the Spanish writer from Donostia Pío Baroja, got actively involved in favour of Ostolaza, finally leaned toward the ones who supported the founder, to the point that the school-library was visited by D. Niceto Alcalá Zamora, the President of de Spanish Second Republic, at the beginning of the academic year 1932-1933.
