Montessori and the Special Child

Prediction by R. Buckminster Fuller There will come the time when the proper education of children, by a glorified system of spontaneous education of choice, similar to the Montessori System, will be made possible. Children, as well as grown-ups, in their individual, glorified, drudgery-proof homes in Labrador, the Tropics, the Orient or where you will, to which they can pass with pleasure and expedition by means of everimproving transportation, will be able to tune in their television and radio to the moving picture lecture of, let us say, President Lowell of Harvard; the professor of mathematics of Oxford; or the doctor of Indian antiquities at Delhi, etc. Education by choice, with its marvelous motivating psychology of desire for truth and the exercise of this desire for truth, will make life ever cleaner and happier, more rhythmical and artistic.
