Fonstad, Clifton (Attends Workshop - SEP 1953)

Clifton Fonstad, President of the Clark Co. Education Association, attended the annual workshop for leaders in education circles at the Wis. State College at Stevens Point Friday evening and Saturday, Sept. 11 an 12. The meetings, which were sponsored by the Wis. Education Association, were designed to give those attending "something to take back home" to the local school systems and association.

A variety of topics were considered in discussions conducted by speakers and panels well-known in education circles. Dr. Glen Eye of the University of Wisconsin discussed "Excitement in Teaching" at the Friday evening session. Dr. Glenn Snow, NEA representative, and WEA president Clyde Shields, also talked at this session. The Saturday sessions in the morning and afternoon featured topics ranging from help for local education associations to public relations and professional standards.
