Text transcribed from caption: C-30844 SCHOOL NAMED FOR HEROIC MARYKNOLL BISHOP BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Honors for a Maryknoll pioneer in the Chinese mission field. The Bishop Francis X. Ford High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., is named for the heroic missionary who died in a Communist prison camp in 1952. This mural of Bishop Ford is shown to school students by Father Bernard F. Meyer, M.M., one of the first four Maryknollers to go to the mission field. In 1918 he accompanied Bishop Ford; Bishop James Edward Walsh, now imprisoned in Red China; and the late Father Thomas F. Price to China. All were priests at the time of their first mission assignment. Father Meyer is currently stationed at Maryknoll headquarters, Maryknoll, N.Y.
