MeceLearn's-comment by Allan K. McLean M.P.P. Simcoe East Since our future is in the hands of our youth - what are we as parents and com- munity leaders doing to prepare our young for the gigantic task that lies ahead? We find ourselves with three major areas that necessitate preparation: Moral Education, Academic Education, and Practical Education. Academics and moral issues are constantly being put before us and rightly so as this is the basis from which we start. We want the best possible teachers, curriculum and moral at- mosphere for those that we love and have nurtured from the cradle, but we seem to have forgotten about the experiential lear- ning aspect. Do we take the time to Teach! One Organization has, for many years, put forth that effort of teaching and has embraced the motto: "Learn to do by Doing"'. The age-old 4-H program focuses on the develop- ment of our youth's most important resources: Talents and Skills of Leadership, Self- Confidence, Self-Esteem and Life Skills. Through 4-H projects, the members are required to use their basic skills of learning, organizing learn- ed data, and putting this data to practical use, thus further developing their potential. Through 4-H club ex- periences, the members learn to relate to one another while developing friendships and just having fun, thus furthering their interpersonal skills. Through 4-H travel, the members are extending this skill of interaction and widening their horizons to include such places as U.S.A. and the United Kingdom, hence becoming more aware of other peo- ple, their problems and the solutions that they choose to implement.

It goes without saying then, that the Leaders of the Future will be the people who have grown by, and will continue to live by the mot- to "Learn to do by Doing!"'
