�OTA I NT HELEN’S HALL was establislied by the Rt. Rev. B. Wistar
Morris, D. D., and opened September,
1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as
Principal. The ground upon which
the school was first built was secured
through the liberality of Mr. John D.
Wolfe and his daughter, Miss Catherine Wolfe, of New York City,
whose large hearted generosity should ever be remembered
in recalling the early history of this institution. The school
continued its work in the original building on Fourth Street,
between Madison and Jefferson, until the year 1890, when
the property was sold to the City of Portland, for the use of
the City Hall. On the 9th of June of that year, the corner
stone of the present large and commodious building was laid,
and on the 24th of February, 1891, the school was moved
to its new home.

I

Miss Mary Rodney died April 15th, 1896, and the work
was carried on by her sisters the Misses Rodney until the
close of the school year. At the opening of the next year,
Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, Ph. D., became principal and re­
mained in that office till the end of June, 1904.
By request of the Board of Trustees, the Sisters of St
John Baptist (founded at Clewer. England, in 1851, and
affiliated in this country in 1881) then undertook the charge
of the school and trust that God will continue to bless their
endeavors for its prosperity and increased usefulness.

history
The study of History is begun in the Elementary De­
partment and continued to the end of the school course.
In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily limited to
college requirements, which, however, are constantly in­
creasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General
Course three courses of History are provided. The
topical method is approved, collateral reading is encouraged.
Maps are drawn, and historical geography is held to be an
important part of the work. History and English are in­
timately associated; pupils being required to commit to
memory historical poems, and to write compositions on sub­
jects drawn from historical lessons. The school is fortunate
in possessing a fairly good though small library of history
and literature bearing upon it.

iflatljrmatirii
“In teaching mathematics the aim is to develop the
spirit of enquiry, the habit of accuracy in reasoning, and
the love of truth.” (Cambridge School Manual.)
The prescribed course comprises Arithmetic, Algebra,
Plane and Solid Geometry.
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.

the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught

students of Botany and Physiology. 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 develop­
ment than a large amount of superficial work.
A course in Domestic Science including Hygiene.
Household Sanitation and Chemistry of Foods is offered.

iJljystral (Guiturr
St. Helen’s Hall has a large gymnasium, and a
trained teacher is in charge of the gymnasium work. In
the Elementary Department there are easy drills several
times in the week. In the Academic department each class
has two morning periods a week for light work such as
marching, club swinging, folk dances, etc., and every pu­
pil is required to be in one afternoon class for either aes­
thetic dancing or games. An exhibition to which the par­
ents and other friends arc invited, is held every spring, at
the conclusion of the year’s work.

ffirliytmto Snstrurtinn
All pupils receive instruction in Holy Scripture, Church
Catechism and the History of the Church, and attend the
daily services in the Chapel of the School. Resident pupils
attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city
churches.
A special advanced course in preparation for Church
work is offered.

\\

imperial &amp;tutonte
Special students in Music, Art or Elocution may be re­
ceived as resident, when there is room for them, but the
preference will be given to pupils in the regular course.
No one will be received as a special student without having
first completed a high school course of study or its equiva­
lent. The terms for special students are the same as for
regular students.

Art instruction embraces pencil, crayon, charcoal, sepia
and India ink, and painting in oil and water colors. 1 he
studio is well supplied with casts and still life, and affords
every advantage for the serious study of drawing an
painting.
Work in the Studio for one period weekly is required
of all pupils in the Elementary Department. In the Aca­
demic Department the Art Courses are elective, and so
arranged as to meet the needs of students who have much
or little time. They include problems in theory and prac­
tice of design, representation and composition.
The Art History Courses aim to make the pupil famil­
iar with the art of the past, to cultivate a feeling for beauty
and develop a power of discrimination that will lead to a
keener appreciation and enjoyment of that which is truly
great in Art.

The home life of St. Helen’s Hall is that of a well
regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome
and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resident nurse, has
the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid
to manners and bearing, and exercises in the Gymnasium
form part of the daily routine. Each girl is required to
obtain from her family physician a certificate of physical
fitness before taking part in any game (such as basket ball),
requiring violent exercise. A riding school near by fur­
nishes horses and groom at a moderate charge for small
riding parties. The resident teachers co-operate with the
Sisters to make home life attractive and helpful. One eve­
ning in each fortnight is given to lectures, musicales and
social gatherings in the reception room. Dancing, indoor
games and all girlish amusements are encouraged.
A short list of correspondents and visitors is required
signed by parent or guardian. Letters addressed to others
than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents
or guardians.
No bills will be paid for pupils nor money advanced
to them unless a deposit has been made for that purpose and
pupils are not allowed to have running accounts at any
store in the city.

!

t

A monthly allowance is recommended as tending to
give a young girl a proper sense of the value of money and
responsibility in the use of it.
During the term no pupil will be allowed to pass a night
in town out of the school building except with her parents
or near relatives. Pupils may not visit anywhere without
the written consent of parents or guardians. They may

receive their friends on Saturday afternoons. Visitors will
not be admitted on Sunday except parents and members of
the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of
introduction from parents or guardian. Visitors may not
ascend the stairs without permission.
The pupils will be allowed to visit on Saturday those
friends in the city whom the parents may designate, pro­
vided those friends accompany them to and from the school,
and the conduct of the pupil has been so satisfactory that
they are entitled to the privilege. Pupils residing in Port­
land or its immediate vicinity will be allowed once in each
month to spend Saturday and Sunday at home.
Magazines and telegrams will not be delivered unless
approved. Newspapers are not allowed.
It is requested that no books be brought into the
school. All textbooks are provided, and there is sufficient
reading matter in the School Library.
Family photographs and a few framed pictures are
allowed in the pupils’ rooms, but not posters or advertise­
ments.
It is desired that all bedroom decorations be simple
hygienic.
Pupils are expected to dress neatly and simply. A
plain skirt with blouse waist for school, a cloth suit for
Sunday and street wear, an afternoon dress of some light
woolen or mixed material and a white muslin dress (highnecked and long sleeved) for musicals will meet all require­
ments. Neither dresses nor waists of laundered goods are
allowed from November 1 to April 1, nor dresses of wash
material for the school room at any time. High shoes with
low heels are required for outdoor wear. Expensive jew­
elry is not allowed. All school dresses must be high-necked
and long sleeved. Elbow sleeves are allowed on afternoon

It is requested that all dress-making and dentistry be at­

Pupils are not allowed to make dressmaking or shop­
ping visits in town or visits to the dentist without a chaperone. A charge of fifty cents an hour will be made for
chaperonage.
Requests from parents and all business communications
should be sent directly to the Sister Superior and not
through the pupil.
The number of resident pupils is limited to fifty. The
intention is to have the school family consist of earnest
girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regula­
tions as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself
impatient of control, or whose general tone and influence
is harmful, can be permitted to remain in the Hall.

The advance deposit is required to secure a room before
the school opens and is used to meet the expenses of books,
music and other school supplies. An account of the same
will be rendered at the close of the school year, and any
surplus returned.
The laundry work included in the regular charge does
not include white skirts or dresses. Coloured underskirts
should be provided and dresses or waists of wash material
are not allowed to be worn from November I to April i.
All arrangements are made for the entire school year.

deduction is made for occasional absence, nor for absence
during the first four weeks. It is assumed that these condi­
tions are accepted when the pupil is entered, this being the
custom of all schools in good standing.
No reduction will be made for absence of less than six
weeks.
A reduction of ten per cent on board and ordinary
tuition is allowed for two sisters. Bills for board and tui­
tion for the second term must be settled before May 1, at
