�AINT HELEN’S HALL was estab­
lished 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.
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.

�School
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 acquire­
ment of graceful womanly accomplishments but also such
moral and religious training as shall help the pupils to be­
come pure, true women, with a high positive standard of
Christian living.
No school could have a more beautiful location. The
building, a handsome brick structure, is on a height over­
looking the city, and surrounded by lines of soft blue hills
broken by the snowy peaks of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens
and the distant white crest of the Cascades. It is thorough­
ly heated by hot water circulation, and well ventilated.
Tfyere are two stairways from the third floor, and fire es­
capes. The Chief of the Portland Fire Department has the
supervision of all the provisions for safety in case of fire,
and inspects the fire escapes from time to time. The
plumbing is under the care of one of the best sanitary
plumbers in the city.
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 effiicent instructors,
either college graduates or 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 quarterly.

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; her regular reception hours are
2 to 4 p. m. on all school days, also 5 to 8 p. m. on Mon­
days.
The school consists of three departments— £lrmrntary,
Arabnnir aub GJullrgmtr; and the special departments of
Music, Art and Elocution.
The Elrmrntary Drpartmrnt is divided into seven class­
es covering in English and Arithmetic the same ground as
the Elementary public school but including a broader range
of subjects.
The Arabrmir department covers five years and is
divided into two courses, the College Preparatory Course
and the General Course. The College Preparatory 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 colleges which
do not require four years’ preparatory work in Latin. In it
the time, which in the College Preparatory Course is neces­
sarily 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 instead
of entrance examinations at Wellesley and Vassar Col­
leges, also at the State Universities of Oregon and Wash­
ington.
Music, Art and Elocution count as regular elective
studies in the General Course. Either Course satisfactorily
completed entitles a pupil to the diploma of the school.

In both courses twenty credits are required for gradu­
ation, each credit representing a year’s work of five recita­
tions a week. Twenty recitations a week are required of
all pupils not studying Music or Art, fifteen recitations a
week arc required of Music and Art pupils.

Slip (EuUcgiatr $)?partm?nt.
St. Helen's Hall offers two years’ advanced work in
Languages, Mathematics, History and Literature, equiva­
lent to the work of the first two years in college.
At the completion of a two years’ course of collegiate
work, amounting to nine credits, a certificate will be given.

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 criti­
cal study of English masterpieces, especially those required
for College entrance examinations. Especial effort is made
to form a taste for good literature, and courses of reading
are planned for the summer vacation.

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

In the last year of the Course, French composition, History
and Literature are studied, and French is the language of
the class room.

German may be begun in the first or second year of
the Academic Course 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. In the case
of resident pupils the French table offers additional op­
portunities for conversation. The German Choral class
meets the first Thursday in each month. Folk songs are
sung, and the advanced German pupils tell the story of the
songs. The German Literature Club meets once in each
month for the study and discussion of great masterpieces.

“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 five years’ course of Latin is provided, including
beside the usual college requirements of Caesar (four books),
Cicero (six orations), Vergil (six books), and Prose com­
positions, selections from Sallust and Ovid and much sight
reading. By beginning Latin early in the course the sense
of hurry and strain is avoided and there is time enough to
make the study interesting and delightful as all true intel­
lectual work ought to be.

The course in Greek covers three years; the previous
work in Latin having prepared the pupil for its intelligent
study. The first year is given to grammar and exercises,
the second to Xenophon, the third to Homer. It is desir­
able though not essential, that pupils preparing for college
should elect Greek as their third language.

Sjifitory
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.

DHatljmatirfi
“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.

This department is conducted in accordance with
the best scientific methods. Natural History is taught
in connection with Geography in the Elementary De­
partment.
In the Academic Department the subjects
are taken up as indicated in the course of study. Lab­
oratory 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 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.

•pijyfliral (Hulturr
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, apparatus work or games. An exhibition
to which the parents and other friends are invited, is
held every spring, at the conclusion of the year’s work.

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.

Serial Stuitenta
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.

PIANO DEPARTMENT.

The Department of Music comprises instruction in
piano, voice, violin, musical theory, elementary harmony,
sight singing and history of music. A systematic course in
piano, violin or vocal music will be allowed to count for
graduation as an elective study in the General course.
The Piano Department awards a diploma at the satis­
factory completion of the regular course as here given.
Before graduation the pupil is required to give from
memory one complete recital, including a concerto, and

Pieces arc selected according to the varying needs
of the pupils from the great mass of old and new piano lit­
erature. An important feature of the work is the training
in ensemble playing, duos, trios and quartets for one and
two pianos being studied.
Portland offers many opportunities for hearing the best
music; during the past year the pupils have attended con­
certs by Eames, Schumann-Heink, Pachmann, Gogorza and
others. Before each concert the programme is carefully
explained to the pupils, that they may listen with intelli­
gence.

Uoral Bepartmnit
The aim of the vocal department is the development of
the voice by a pure and natural method of tone production.
All studies are selected according to the individual needs of
the pupil, and songs are taken from the old composers and
the best modern music. A diploma will be given at the
satisfactory completion of the following course:
First Grade—Simple Theory.
Castelli’s Vocalizes, Book I.
Studies in tone production and technique.
First grade songs.
Second GRADE-History of Music.

Elnrutimi ani Bair? Culture
The aim of the instruction in this department is to
grasp and express the thoughts of great minds. Especial
attention is paid to the use of the speaking voice and to
reading aloud. Recitation and the use of gesture are also
taught and exercises in correct breathing and physical cul­
ture given.
A certificate will be given at the close of a satisfactory
course of two or more years.

Art
Art instruction embraces pencil, crayon, charcoal, sepia
and India ink, and painting in oil and water colors. The
studio is well supplied with casts and still life, and affords
every advantage for the serious study of drawing and
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.
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

�ST.

HELEN’S

HALL

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 gowns must be high-necked. Elbow
sleeves are allowed on evening gowns only. All members

of the school dress for dinner. It is requested that all dress­
making and dentistry be attended to at home.

*fc

Pupils are not allowed to make dressmaking or shop­
ping visits in town or visits to the dentist without a c’naperone. 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.
