Matthews, Esq. • �; 1 AINT HELEN’S HALL was established by the Rt. Rev. B. Wistar ] Morris, D. D., and opened Septem^ ber, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal. The ground 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. ! 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 the principal and remained in that office till the end of the Board of of June, 1904, when, by the request r �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 for the Day School have been placed on that site. Owing to the overcrowd­ ing of the latter, the Portland Academy on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall, with its excel­ lent class rooms, playgrounds, and the use of the separate gymnasium, has been leased by the Trustees of St. Helen’s Hall, and will be occupied as the house of resi­ dence, and for the Lower and Upper Schools for both day pupils and boarders. The aim of St. Helen’s Hall is 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 help the pupils to become pure, true women, with a high, posi­ tive standard of Christian living. v �ST. HELEN’S HALL 5 uJln> S’rifuul 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. ^Departments The school consists of four departments—the Lower School and Upper School, the Kindergarten Training Class, and Kindergarten. The Lower School includes the six classes covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as the Ele­ mentary 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 Col- �6 ST. HELEN’S HALL tory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading 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 workin 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. From 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. 3 �ST. HELEN’S HALL 7 credit representing a year’s work of five recitations a week. From seventeen to twenty-four recitations a week are required of all pupils. Either course, fully com­ pleted, entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school. lEttglisI) 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. Throughout the School the reading matter is carefully selected and in the fourth year 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 required for College entrance examinations. 3FmtrIj anil g>patti0l) 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 convcrsation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trans­ lation are begun. In the last year of the Course, French composition, History and Literature are studied. French or Spanish may be begun in the third year of the Upper School and carried to the point required �8 ST. HELEN’S HALL 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 French and Spanish songs and plays form a part of the course. Hatxn m\b ($r*ek “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 of Latin is provided, including beside the usual college requirements of Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and prose composition, and sight reading (Levy & Horace). 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. Sfiatonj The study of History is begun in the Lower School and continued to the end of the school course. In the College Preparatory Course it is necessarily �ST. HELEN’S HALL 9 limited to college requirements, which, however, are constantly increasing both as to quantity and quality. In the General Course five courses of History are 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. iflatljemattni “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 as possible upon text books. $rintrr 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 Chemistry and Physics, and the use of the �10 ST. HELEN’S HALL microscope of all 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 development than a large amount of superficial work.

Resident pupils attend service on Sunday morning in one of the city churches. Mubxc 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 tech­ nical work is drawn from the best sources, and pieces �ST. HELEN’S HALL 11 are selected from the great 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 encouraged 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, modelling, sketching, composition, portrait and life study. Advanced students may also join the Art Iiistory and the Composition Class. Work in applied design is permitted 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. •gliysiral (Ettllurr The school has the use of a well equipped gymnasium. Special attention is given to aesthetic dancing and military drill. The school also has tennis courts for outdoor exercise. A riding school near by furnishes horses and grooms at a moderate charge for small riding parties. Dancing, indoor games and all girlish amusements are encouraged. Pupils may form a class for dancing lessons if desired. �ST.

HELEN’S HALL 25 (Htjp tfinmp I he home life of St. Helen’s Hall aims to be that of a well-regulated household, in which the general tone is wholesome and happy. A Sister, assisted by the resi­ dent nurse, has the care of the pupils’ health. Especial attention is paid to manners and bearing. A short list of correspondents and visitors, signed by the parents, is required. Letters addressed to others than those on the list will be forwarded unopened to parents or guardians. 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 any­ where without the consent of parents or guardians. They may receive their friends on Saturdays and on week days out of school hours. Visitors will not be ad­ mitted on Sunday, except parents and members of the immediate family. Strangers must bring a letter of in­ troduction from parents or guardian. 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, as they may not go about the city unaccompanied at any time. Resident pupils will be allowed once in each month to spend Saturday and Sunday away from the school. Pupils whose homes are not in Portland are required to be resident pupils at the school. The intention is to have the school family consist of earnest girls who will cheerfully adapt themselves to such regulations as are found necessary. No pupil who shows herself impa­ tient of control, or whose general tone and influence Is harmful, can be permitted to remain in the school. �26 ST. HELEN’S HALL Satii} §>rijrl>iil?
