...seethed through Poland ever since Gomulka declared his provisional independence from Moscow. Its unquestioned leader is a gawky, 36-year-old political philosopher whose devastating attacks on the Russians' brand of Communism have already made him a hero to Poland's students. "Leszek Kolakowski," said one ardent young Communist last week, "is much more important for Polish intellectual development than Khrushchev's speech...

Montanari, 36, is an ardent apostle of Celestin Freinet, a freewheeling French innovator who claims non-Freinet schools teach by the medieval notion of rigid authority, argues for a classless classroom, with the teacher as merely a "master companion" who discusses with the pupils what and how they should study. Montanari installed the Freinet method in all of San Marino's elementary schools except one: Mother Veronica's St. Clare's Convent...
