can't lead all the time by Robin Nutbrown A person in charge will provide leadership but it is improbable that he or she can provide all the leadership all the time. The person will be nominal or named leader but will delegate most of the responsibility to others in the group. There are a number of functions which have to be done in order for the group to be effective. Leadership consists of establishing and defining group goals, and also helping the group move towards achieving these goals. Resources within the group and outside are usually made available. The quality and quantity of interaction amongst its members is improved. Cohesiveness within the group is built up. Because of this, its members are satisfied. Leadership also helps establish positive contacts with others and the group will recognize the value of individual members and be aware of what is happening in the group. As you see, one person cannot do all these things all the time. It is as much the responsibility of each member to see that these functions are carried out as it is that of the nominal leader. Shared leadership recognizes that all the functions cannot be performed by any one person all the time; that the strength of the group lies in the resources that each member brings; that commitment to decisions concerning members is higher when members contribute to them. This type of leadership has a positive climate for learning in which all members develop self- assurance as they accept responsibility for themselves and the group. Shared leadership is equivalent to shared responsibility, each person feeling responsible for him / herself and responding to other members and the group. The idea supports "discipline from within', prescribed by Baden Powell, as distinct from discipline imposed by someone outside the group. It also helps create a sense of self-worth in members by letting them experience that they are wanted and valued. It is very important in Scouting that shared leadership be recognized and encouraged. Scouting is educational! It endeavours to help individuals develop leadership skills. The more opportunities they have to perform leadership roles, the faster and better their skills will grow. Because members are learning, they will make mistakes. These mistakes do not 'let leaders down", they simply provide OPparBRIHES for deeper et tS In-class competition at ESPSS All eves were on the ball as this class of Grade 12 boys at ESPSS gets some instruction from physical valuable edueation instructor Larry Banks.

This has been one of the best seasons for MSS runners and they should be proud of their work. Students at MS learn firsthand During this past week students of the Grade 12 technical courses at M.S.S. have _ been participating in work experience programs with local industries, garages and shops. This program has been taking place for Manv years now and consists of one week each fall and a second week in the spring. Students are placed with qualified tradesmen so they may observe and actually do the work of the course they are studying in school. This work experience has proven to be highly beneficial to students as it reinforces the theory learned in class, in- volves them in the work as it really happens and in some cases leads to future employment with the industry. . The student is evaluated while on the job and suggestions are made by the employer that could improve the course content in the school. The co-operation shown by local tradesmen has provided the impetus required to make this an excellent program for the students. The following in- dustries, and businesses are participating in this week's work experience project: Wismer Electtric Walkers' Electric Ontario Hydro Midland Public Utilities Commission Ste.
