712 MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS

9. The area of training in the proper utilization of audio-visual
materials is one which has been of great concern to the Board.
A beginning in this phase of work was the Audio-Visual Workshop
which was conducted at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, during the
summer of 1955. Twenty-nine synodical Districts were officially
represented at this workshop.

It is hoped that by the time of the St. Paul Convention we shall
have been successful in augmenting our full-time staff with a pro-
fessionally trained individual, whose primary responsibility is the
development of an ongoing program of proper utilization. Such
a utilization program would be of immediate and practical help
to the pastors, teachers, and Sunday school staffs of our Synod,
as well as to terminal institutions.

In conclusion, all glory to God for the undeserved blessings
which He has placed on our work of the last triennium. It has
been a triennium of growth and development for the Department
of Audio-Visual Education as an effective arm of the church. The
Board membership has displayed an enthusiasm and interest in
its work which has been a source of satisfaction and mutual
encouragement.

Then we would gratefully acknowledge the co-operation and
support of the boards and agencies of Synod with which we have
been privileged to work.

And we would also gratefully acknowledge the loyalty and
constructive suggestions and support of our church throughout
the world, without whose assistance neither the accomplishments
of the past nor the plans for the future could be possible.
