�AINT HELEN’S HALL was estab
lished by the Rt. Rev. B. Wistar
Wi}jL Morris, D. D., and opened September, 1869, with Miss Mary B.
Rodney as Principal. The ground
&
rs
upon which the school was first
built was secured through the lib
erality 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 large and commodious building at
Park and St. Clair Streets was laid, and on the 24th of
February, 1891, the school was moved to its new home.
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
the principal and remained in that office till the end
of June, 1904, when, by the request of the Board of
�4
ST. HELEN’S
HALL
Trustees, the Sisters of St. John Baptist (founded at
Clewer, England, in 1857, and affiliated in this country
in 1881), undertook the charge of the school.
The work has been steadily carried on since that
time, and has met, as all believe, a very real need in the
Diocese, and been blessed with increased usefulness.
The school building was destroyed by fire on Septem
ber 3, 1914. Since then a commodious kindergarten
building and a temporary building fully fitted for all
school purposes have been placed on that site. The
well-known house on the corner of Everett and 20th
streets, for so many years the home of Bishop Morris,
together with the house adjoining, are occupied as
houses of residence. Their situation is pleasant, each
house having a garden and piazzas, and the location is
central, convenient, and within ten minutes’ walk of the
school. Special provision is made for the younger pupils
from the Elementary Department, who will be received
as well as girls from the Academic.
The aim of St. Helen’s Hall- iis to provide for girls
the best possible facilities for complete education. This
means not only the cultivation of the intellect and the
acquirement of graceful, womanly accomplishments, but
also such moral and religious training as shall helo the
pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi
tive standard of Christian living.
�ST. HELEN’S HALL

Uii|r g’djonl
The interior administration of the school has been
entrusted 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, either college graduates, or teachers espe
cially 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 re
tained in the school.
The Sister Superior will always be glad to receive
visits from the parents of pupils.
tfcpartumtts
The school consists of three departments—Element
ary, Academic, and Kindergarten Training Class.
The Elementary Department includes, besides the
Kindergarten, seven classes, covering in English and
Arithmetic the same ground as the Elementary public
school, but including a broader range of subjects.
The Academic Department covers five years and is
divided into two courses—the College Preparatory
Course and the General Course. The College Prepara-
�6
ST. HELEN’S
HALL
tory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements
°f the fading Eastern colleges without undue. pressure.
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 col
leges which do not require four years’ preparatory work
in Latin. In it the time, which in the College Prepara
tory Course is necessarily spent in Latin, is devoted to
Literature, History and Modern Languages, Much of
the work is common to both courses, and the standard
of thoroughness is the same.
The certificate of St. Helen’s Hall is accepted in
stead of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Smith
Colleges, also at the State Universities of Oregon
Washington and California.
Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective
studies in the General Course, A four-years’
course in
any one of these subjects, satisfactorily completed
will
be taken into account for graduation.
In both the General
and the College Preparatory
Course, twenty credits are
required for graduation, each
credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a
week, rrom seventeen to
twenty-four recitations a week
are required of all pupils. Either
course, fully completed, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school.
�ST. HELEN’S HALL

Sugluilt
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. From
the lowest class the reading matter is carefully selected,
and in the third year of the Academic Course a brief
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 required for College entrance examinations.
anil (formmt
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 Elementary Depart
ment, the lessons at first being in the form of conver
sation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trans
lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French
composition, History and Literature are studied.
German or Spanish may be begun in the first, second
or third year of the Academic Course and carried to
the point required for admission to college or beyond it
as may be desired. Attention is paid to pronunciation,
conversation and sight reading, as well as to grammar
and translation, and German and Spanish songs and
plays form a part of the course.

Satin anil (grrrk
“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 five years’ course of Latin is provided, including
beside the usual college requirements of Caesar. Cicero,
Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, a fifth yeai for
Sallust and sight-reading.
It is recommended that Latin should be begun in the
7th Grade of the school work.
The course in Greek covers three years; the previous
work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelli
gent study. The first year is given to grammar and
exercises, the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer.
It is desirable, though not essential, that pupils prepar
ing for college should elect Greek as their third lan
guage.
fSistnrtj
The study of History is begun in the Elementary
Department and continued to the end of the school
course • In the College Preparatory Course it is neces
sarily limited to college requirements, which, however,
are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of Plistory are
�ST. HELEN’S HALL

offered. 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 intimately associated; pupils
being required to commit to memory historical poems,
and to write compositions on subjects drawn from his
torical lessons. The school is fortunate in possessing a
fairly good, though small, library of history, and litera
ture bearing upon it.
lEatljrmatirs
“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, Alge
bra, Plane and Solid Geometry.
Throughout the course original work is encouraged,
and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged
to rely as little cis possible upon text books.
i’rirnrp
This department is conducted in accordance with the
best scientific methods. Natural History is taught in
connection with Geography in the Elementary Department. In the Academic Department the subjects are
taken up as indicated in the course of study. Laboratory work is required of all students of Chemistry and
Physics, and the use of the microscope of all students
of Botany and Physiology. It is considered that one or
�10
ST. HELEN’S HALL
two sciences, each thoroughly studied for not less than
one year, will do more for the pupil’s intellectual devel
opment than a large amount of superficial work.
A course in the Theory of Domestic Science, includ
ing Hygiene, Household Sanitation and Chemistry of
Foods, is offered. For lessons in cooking in connection
with this course an extra charge is made.
Sclujimis instruriimt
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.
iHusir
Pupils may study music, piano, violin, vocal, musical
theory, harmony, etc., in the school, Two half-hour
lessons a week are usually given, and at least
one hour
a day must be spent in practice; this time may be in
creased according to the ability of the pupil. The techmeal work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces
are selected from the
£reat mass of old and new musical
literature, according to the needs of the students,
When
they are sufficiently advanced, ensemble playing, duos,
trios and quartettes may be studied. Pupils
are eacouraged to attend the concerts offered throughout the
season in the city.

Art
The school of the Portland Art Association offers
special advantages to those wishing to study Art. The
course includes elementary drawing, painting, model
ling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study.
Advanced students may also join the Art History and
the Composition Class. Work in applied design is per
mitted when the pupils are sufficiently advanced to
carry out the principles studied, Art students may
also join a class in Arts and Crafts, or may take special
training in metal work, wood carving, etc.

Applicants must present a High School diploma, or
its equivalent, and otherwise satisfy the Sister Superior
of their fitness and earnestness. Good health is an es
sential, and some musical ability a decided advantage.
Twenty-three weeks of practice teaching are required
yearly. Students are given an opportunity to observe
and practice in each of the public charity kindergartens
of the city, also in a model kindergarten, which is con
ducted in connection with the Training School. Since
there is a model first grade as well in the same building,
the students have the advantage of observing the care
fully developed connection between kindergarten and
first grade work.
t The course of study covers eighteen months, or two
school years, and the diploma is accredited by the pub

The advance deposit is required to secure a room be
fore the school opens and is used to meet the expenses
of school supplies. An account of money used for per
sonal expenses will be rendered at the close of the school
year, and any surplus returned.
The laundry work included in the regular charges
does not include white skirts or dresses. Dresses or thin
waists are not allowed to be worn from November 1 to
April 1.
All arrangements are made for the entire school year. Pupils
withdrawn before the end of the year will be charged in full, ex
cept in cases of severe illness, when the loss will be equally
shared. This is a distinct condition of the contract. The cause
of removal must be attested by two physicians, one of whom
shall be the attending physician of the school. No deduction is
made for occasional absence, nor for absence during the first four
weeks. It is assumed that these conditions 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.
When desired, pupils may remain at the school during
Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will
be charged at the rate of seven dollars a week.
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.
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.
