Little could do school for children if their parents  did not have resources to buy textbooks.

As President of the Republic, Lopez Mateos chose who  had been elected pupil of Jose Vasconcelos to deal with, for the second time, the Ministry of Public Education: Jaime Torres Bodet, man of letters and books, diplomatic, Patriot and visionary, conceived the project and invited Martin Luis Guzmán, another greater stature intellectual to organize and implemented which then and was called the National Commission of tha books of text  Free (CONALITEG)..
