"The result of these good
schools" said the Monsignor in a
letter to Msgr. Gerard A. Fittkau,
executive director of the st. Boni.
face Society, sis that Catholic life
flourishes in the parishes and that
there is an atmosphere of genuine
understanding among the laity on
one side and priests and nuns on
the other"
Il found that the public and
Church educational institutions vie
with each other in stimulating
competition to do their very best
for the young generation" the
priest added.
Monsignor Prem visited the Unit
ed States for two months on an ex-
change program of the u. S. Gov.

Monsignor Prem said the letter
also afforded him an opportunity
to express his admiration and
thanks for the generous help" Civ
