  The annual Working Group on Forth Education was held at the 1991 Rochester
  Forth Conference.  As chairman of the group, I pointed out that apart from
  some activity resulting from the  1990 Working Group,  notably on the part
  of Jack Brown  of BCIT,  there was very little carry over from one year to
  the next. So, I volunteered to start and administer a Forth Education List
  on Internet.  I have now decided to publish an electronic newsletter--more
  or less regularly--and this is it!

  This issue is being sent to some of the people who attended the 1991 FEWG,
  namely, those who gave me their electronic addresses. You can subscribe to
  the list by sending an e-mail request to

      forth-edu-l-request@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca

  Contributions to the newsletter can be sent (for editing) to

      ns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca

  Submissions to the list can be sent to

      forth-edu-l@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca

  Topics for both types of submissions that have been suggested at the WG
  include

 * Forth textbooks
 * Educational Forth boards
 * Forth teaching resources
 * Teaching the ANSI Standard Version of Forth
 * How to increase programming productivity through education
 * Boot Prom educational materials
 * anything else impinging on education and Forth
