In June, 1904. by the request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist of the Episcopal Church undertook the charge of the school.

It is a handsome three-story brick building, adapted for the accommoda­ tion of about thirty-five resident pupils, and a large number of rooms with all the nec­ essary equipment to meet the demands of a modern standardized school, large sunny halls of unusual attractiveness, spacious grounds, and an outdoor gymnasium where tennis, basketball, and sports of all kinds are played throughout the year. i' 4 i !:• I I ■ i i - �8 St. Helen’s Hall THE SCHOOL The interior administration of the school has been en­ trusted to the Sisters of St. John Baptist, who have the general superintendence of every department. In secular studies they are assisted by a staff of efficient instructors, college graduates, especially trained for their work. A daily record is kept of the attendance, scholarship, and deportment of every pupil, and a report of the same is mailed to parents at the close of each quarter. Pupils failing, after a fair trial, to attain the required standard of scholarship or deportment, will not be retained in the School. The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive visits from the parents of pupils. Departments The School consists of three departments, a Kinder­ garten, the Lower School and the Upper School. The Lower School includes the six classes covering the same ground as the public school to the Seventh Grade, but with a broader range of subjects. The Upper School covers six years and is divided into two courses,—the College Preparatory Course and the General Course. Two extra years of either collegiate or special work may be taken if desired. The First and Second Forms of the Upper School correspond with the Seventh and Eighth grades of the public school, and the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Forms correspond with the four years of the High School work. The College Preparatory Course and the General Course begin with the Third Form. �St. Helen’s Hall 9 St. Helens’ Hall is a standard school of Oregon, and is accredited to all the Western Colleges and Universities. This allows students to enter without examination, and the work is accepted by the Eastern Colleges according to the new entrance requirements. The passing grade of the School is 75 per cent. The recommending grade of the School to Western Universities is 85 per cent, For entrance to Stanford University on the preferred list, and for the Eastern College an average of 90 per cent is re- S i 4 I quired. The College Course is especially for pupils preparing for Eastern Colleges. All Eastern Colleges are not uni­ form in their requirements, but entrance examinations are necessary for all. Therefore, it is advisable for students preparing for them to take their preliminary examinations at the end of the second year, and in some instances one or two may be taken at the end of the first year, This allows a better distribution of the work and lessens the strain of the Senior year. We urge parents who intend to send their daughters to college to register them in one or more colleges or univer­ sities very early in their school life. 1 his step is necessarv because of the crowded condition of these institu­ tions, especially so of the major Eastern colleges. It is also a wise one because the pupil s preparatory woik maj then be definitely planned to fit her for whatever college she desires to enter, without undue pressure in her Junior and Senior year. Tn the General Course no credit will be given foi less than two years’ work in any language, German or Spanish may be substituted for French throughout the course. Pupils may enter any class for which they are piepare . but the Diploma of St. Helen’s Flail is not given for lesb tlian two years’ attendance, This course meets the requirements of all Western Universities and Colleges. i •: i 1 ■ �/ ! _ *o -~ _ Q 5 u = j. i ; i ! £ i �K3 “V -•■ — i s St. Helen’s Hall 11 The General Course is intended for pupils desiring to lay the foundation of a broad general education, and meets the requirements of those Universities and Colleges which do not require four years of preparatory work in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to Literature. His­ tory and Modern Languages. Much of the work is com­ mon to both courses, and the standard of thoroughness is the same. Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective studies in the General Course. A four-year course in any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed, will be taken into account for graduation. English The aim in this course is to give pupils thorough in­ struction in English Grammar and Rhetoric, to enable them to write with ease and accuracy, and to teach them to appreciate what is best in English Literature. Through­ out the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth and fifth years of the Upper School, history of English Literature is studied. After this the work consists chiefly in the writing of compositions and the critical study of English masterpieces, especially those re­ quired for College Entrance Examinations. ii 1 French and Spanish In these courses the aim is to enable the pupil to read the languages at sight and speak and write them easily. In order to acquire a good pronunciation, the study of French should be begun in the Lower School, the lessons at first being in the form of conversation and easy read­ ing. Afterward grammar and translation are begun. In the last year of the course. French composition, history and literature are studied. I I 1: �12 St. Helen’s Hall French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required for admission to College or beyond it, as may be desired. At­ tention is paid to pronunciation, conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar and translation, and French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Latin and Greek “Latin and Greek are not regarded as dead languages except in the sense that all language of books not in our era is dead. They are living in the sense that the Eng­ lish of Chaucer and the Italian of Dante are alive, dead only to those to whom for lack of knowledge they are sealed books.”—(Cambridge School Manual.) A four years’ course in Latin is provided, meeting the usual college requirements in Qesar, Cicero. Virgil. Ovid, sight reading, and prose composition, adapted to the new comprehensive examinations of the College Entrance Board. 1; I; I; History •: I; ■ . i r The stud)- of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the Col­ lege Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to the Eastern College requirements, which, however, are con­ stantly increasing both as to quantity and quality, In the General Course five courses of history arc offered. The topical method is approved, collateral reading is en­ couraged. Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an important part of the work. History and English are intimately associated, pupils being required to commit to memory historical poems, and to write com­ positions on subjects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a fairly good, though small, library of History and Literature bearing upon it. �!■>' •- r Sr. Helen’s Hall - 13 Mathematics “In teaching Mathematics the aim is to develop the spirit of inquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and the love of truth."—(Cambridge School Manual.) The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra and Plane Geometry; elective. Solid Geometry and Trigo­ nometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as possible upon text books. Science This department is conducted in accordance with the best scientific methods, Natural History is taught in connection with Geography in the Lower School, in the Upper School the subjects are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Science. It is considered that one or two Sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than one year, will do more for the pupil s intellectual development than a larger amount of superficial work. Domestic Science Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modification of its laws.
