For A. M. Gorky
Most Esteemed Alexei Maksimovich!

I am sending you by registered mail a pamphlet by my wife entitled "Popular Education and Democracy" 222.

The author has been engaged in pedagogy for a long time, more than 20 years. And the pamphlet brings together both personal observations and materials about the new school in Europe and America. From the table of contents you will see that a sketch of the history of democratic views is also provided, in the first half.

This too is very important, because the views of great democrats of the past are usually expounded incorrectly or from an incorrect point of view. I do not know whether you yourself are able to find the time for reading and whether you are interested; §§ 2 and 12 could serve as examples. The changes in the school of the newest, imperialist, epoch are outlined on the basis of materials from recent years and provide very interesting illumination for democracy in Russia.
