Wistar iij J Morris, D. D„, and opened September, 1869, with Miss Mary B. Rodney as Principal. The ground upon which the school was first VJ ^ 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. a is St. Helen's Hall is now situated on Thirteenth Street, between Montgomery and Hall. The building is adapted for the accommodation of from thirty to forty Resident pupils, and a large number of Day pupils. There are excellent class rooms, tennis courts, a spacious play­ ground, and an outdoor gymnasium. In June, 1904, by the request of the Board of 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. �ST. HELEN’S HALL 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 aim of St. Helen’s Iiall 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. Page Four �ST. HELEN’S HALL S>d}onl 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. apartments The school consists of three departments—the Lower School and Upper School, 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- Page Five �ST. HELEN’S HALL legiate 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 corres­ pond with the four years of the High School work. Be­ ginning with the Third Form, the Upper School is div­ ided into College Preparatory Course and the General Course. The College Preparatory Course is so arranged as to meet the requirements of the leading Eastern col­ leges 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 the State Universities of Oregon, Washington and California, and the work is accepted by the Eastern Colleges according to the new entrance requirements. 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 Page Six �ST. HELEN’S HALL legiate or Special work may be taken if desired.

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. 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. iFmtrlj auh &jiuuiiil| 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 conver­ sation and easy reading. Afterward grammar and trails 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 Putfe Scvc i �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. Uattn anfo tek “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 English 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, Livy and 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. ^tBtary 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 Page Eight �ST. HELEN’S HALL 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. “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 and Plane Geometry. Elective, Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. Throughout the course original work is encouraged and set rules are avoided. The pupils are encouraged to rely as little as posible upon text books. 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 Page Nine �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 larger amount of superficial work. Smuentir §>rtrun? Cookery—Laboratory and lecture classes in the theory and practice of cookery, together with modifica­ tion of its laws. Foods—Their history, care, composition, cost and nutritive value. Pl’ain Hand and Machine Sewing—Bringing into use the primary stitches with their modifications and combi­ nations, and developing the simpler rules of garmeni making. Brli^tnua dlnatrurtimi 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. $tuair 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 Page Ten �ST. HELEN’S HALL 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 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. JIljyBiral (Enltun? Physical training is given careful attention and is under the direction of a competent director. For a short period daily the pupils have gymasium in the open air. Special attention is given to Aesthetic Dancing and Military Drill. The school also has tennis courts for outdoor exercise, and a spacious playground. Pace Eleven �ST. HELEN’S HALL 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. A resident trained nurse has charge of the general health of the pupils. In a-ll cases of illness requiring special care, a trained nurse is engaged at the expense of the pupil. Page Twelve < �ST.

The work of the first four Forms is designed to give a thorgh foundation in fundamental processes, methods of study, habits of thoroughness and accuracy, and the beginnings of a cultural background. From the first, all subjects arc carefully correlated and the child’s information increased as its experiences and ability justity. Individual attention is given phonetics and dramatic expres­ sion, in the belief that enunciation and self-expression are essential to clear thinking and intelligent appreciation in later work. ■ 'U FIRST FORM, READING: Riverside Primer.

When desired, pupils may remain at the school during Christmas and Easter vacations, and for that time will be charged at the rate of two dollars a day. 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. Page Twenty-four �s TJfaU REQUIREMENTS AND REGULATIONS Each Pupil must be provided with: Two pairs of sheets for single bed, and comfortable. Bible, Prayerbook and Hymnal. Two pairs of pillow cases, 23 inches. Six table napkins and napkin ring. Six towels and four bath towels. Shoe bag, two clothes bags and two bureau scarfs. Dressing gown, bedroom slippers, overshoes and hot water bag. It is very desirable that the school girl’s wardrobe should be simple and refined, therefore for school wear midi blouses and plain skirts or dress of thick material and shoes with low heels are expected, and for dinner and evening wear no elaborate dresses are allowed. Attractive and stylish clothes are desirable but all should be in keeping with a high standard of modesty and with what is required in all first class schools. Expensive jewelry may not be brought to school. All articles of clothing must be plainly marked with the full name. Pupils may bring for their room a few framed pictures only. Posters and unframed pictures, pennants, curtains and other draperies are not allowed. Magazines, newspapers and telegrams will not be delivered unless approved. All books brought into the school must be approved. It is requested that all dress-making and dentistry be attended to at home. Pupils are not allowed to make dressmaking or shopping 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. �ST. HELEN’S HALL i ; The 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 unaccom­ panied 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. Page Twenty-five !; i i �ST.
