The school began to need analytic programs in conformity with the "modern" pedagogy of the day. Thus, Aniceto Gallardo, director of the school "Escuela Olea," successfully implemented these reforms.

That student worked in the office, as librarian, and as banker for the parish's students and its worker center.
