The peace of the world starts from the cradles of the children at home for all the systems of education. Particularly for children, the most popular and the best-suited educational system is Dr.Maria Montessori's system of education.

The Montessori is very popular in North America, Canada, Western Europe and in other advanced countries of the world.

Though similar type of Montessori system exists in different forms in India, the Montessori system has not become popular in India, though Dr.Maria studied and sloped her educational system practically in India and wrote many of her theories in the form of books when she was in India during Second World War.

Dr.Maria Montessori books deal both with the fundamental principles and special aspects of her work. This covers a field much vaster than that of child education and is no longer a matter of concern for teachers and parents only, but rises a question concerning mankind as a whole. It is based on series of genuine discoveries. When she started her work in the field of education and child psychology, she had already gained fame as the first woman to obtain a doctor's degree in medicine and surgery in her country

Her, scientific training and experience where therefore, exceptionally broad- based remains, even today, quiet unique among educationists. The Montessori Method itself covers the whole development, of man from birth to adulthood. Its application among all social classes, cultures and creeds on all the five continents, most of which Dr.Montessori visited herself, provided her with a uniquely vast field of experimentation and with confirmation of the validity of her discoveries. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL of UNESCO could therefore, declare that it had and still has fundamental influences on all modern methods of education directly as well as indirectly.

The work has grown steadily in all its branches. Dr.Montessori's work has gradually assumed the dimensions of a social movement based on the child as a personality of immense value for social and human uplift. Especially in our times,the most important contribution is, perhaps, that it focuses attention on the fact that no attempt to solve social and moral problems will succeed if it concentrates only on man-the - adult and his activities and not on the whole man and it is the young child who determines man's future as an adult member of society. How he does so, how he can be helped to do so and what will be the consequences of negligence or misguidance during this decisive period of human life?

Peace is the vital question for the world today. Dr.Montessori has shown the great role of the child as the builder of the inner foundations on which alone, Peace can be built.

No doubt, Modern Education needs a holistic approach in teaching. During the pre-independence years of India 1936 - 1941, a school teacher inspired a little boy in Rameswaram to reach for the stars. When he taught his class how the birds fly, he took his students to the ocean to make them observe the seagull.

Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, doyen of Indian Science, who has been the guiding light the country's space programmer has reinvented a role for himself.Today, he has taken up cause of inspiring the youth to pursue a career in science, and travels extensively to far-flung corners of the country, especially the underdeveloped regions, to meet children, strict with them and share their dreams. No wonder this village boy was elevated to highest post of The President of India.

According to Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, the first scientist of this planet is one butra, the teacher’s role is very noble and his work should not end in the classroom, but old extend to that of a mentor, guide and philosopher to his wards. The teacher must love his profession, inculcate values, as sense of dedication in his wards and inspire them. These ideas of Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam are more or less similar to the principles of Dr.Maria Montessori.

There are many theories of education, every body talks about educational pattern, curriculum, syllabus and everyday we also see new theories of education are enunciated by different educationalists.

Indeed, education is the foundation, super structure and the glittering power of progress and prosperity of mankind. Education enriches and enables the mind and purifies heart and leads to the perfection of soul-it is the mother of joy-it is an ever ending wealth- it plays the main role in man's life from cradle to grave. If we want to have a prosperous, progressive, peaceful society, we should have good education, for which the foundation should be laid at earliest childhood of humanity.
