...HIS EXEELLENCY... His Excellency, Bishop Lamb, has long been numbered as a friend of Roman Catholic High School. His career, like that of His Eminence, has also been associated With education in this Archdiocese. Educated in Rome, he, too, became a professor in the Diocesan Seminary at Overbrook. Later he occu- pied the position of Associate Superintendent of Catholic Schools for several years. In this position he became very familiar with the pattern of our great school system, and ever afterwards has retained a keen interest in the prob lems of Catholic Education. His zeal has also extended itself to include Catholics attending the public schools. Following the precepts of the Holy See and under the patronage of the Cardinal, Bishop Lamb has displayed great vigor in the program of catechism for these children, as well as areligious education program for Catholic adults. The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine in this Diocese is a tribute to the zeal of the Cardinal and Bishop Lamb.
