The article focuses on a new experiment in the field of education, being carried on in the District of Kaluga. It had its beginnings in 1905 when the idea of "environmental education" attracted the attention of leading authorities, and the Czar granted land for a colony in Kaluga for the working out of the principle of the child's participation in its social environment. The exhibit of the Kaluga schools showed the development of their work in a series of posters and collections of small pictures and compositions drawn or written by the children themselves, with photographs and snapshots, arranged according to subjects.
