Célestin Freinet was a noted French pedagogue and educational reformer. In 1935 he started his own school in Vence, Alpes Maritimes department. In his natural and democratic system the pupils are encouraged to learn by working, to co-operate, to use their own experiences, to use democratic self-government. As in other 'democratic schools' there is no strict preordinated rules, not even a dress code, as we see in the photograph taken at the school in 1953 (figure 1).
