Subject: New classes on inheritance

I'm trying to create a new globally available subclass upon the
inheritance of another class. This code isn't close to complete, but I
think I'm on the right track.

  class PersonHelper; end

  class Person
    def self.inherited(klass)
      helper = Object.const_get(klass.to_s + 'Helper')
      # define class here?
    end
  end

  class Employee < Person; end

Basically, I'm trying to accomplish this:

  class EmployeeHelper < PersonHelper; end

...by defining class Employee. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance!
