Evening and Afternoon Programs

Teachers who wish to prepare pro
grams, should find time for practiciug
outside of school hours, as you will
find there is no time for such practic-
ing on the regular program. We re-
gret to say, that we have found this
to be true, in one or two of the schools
this year, The work of the regular
school program as well as the time
Of the pupils, is too valuable to take
any regular class period or study
period for practicing miscellaneous
programs There is a regular pro-
gram for opening exercises for each
day Of the week, also a rlace on the
regular program for it.

Fail To Find
w. II. Oehlert
Escaped From
Penitentiary Nine
Days Ago

All efforts to find any trace of
William H. Oehlert, OF this city
who escaped from the Richmond
penitentiary February 20, where
he was serving a twenty yeai
sentence for the murder of Herr
Briscoe thus far have proved una
vailing.
1t was at first thought thai
Oehlert would come to his for
,mer home in this city. A lookout
kept here, however, thus far has
failed to reveal the presence of
the fugitive in this city and th
opinion prevails that Oehlert :
all probability has gone to some
distant city with the hope of elud-
ing capture.
The murder of Briscoe occur
red on the Camp Humphreys road
in Fairfax county October Is,
1921 and December 2, 1921 he
was found guilty by jury in
Fairfax and sentenced. Oehlert
went to the penitentiary early in
1922 and had spent only a year
in that institution when ne made
good his getaway.
