THE SOCIAL WORKER.
Use the same voice to your " cases " as yon do to your best friends; words matter much less than tone.
When investigating, don't catechise; the astuto questioner may elicit facts but tho sympathetic listener is told secrets. Learn to observe; tho eyo will show you things you could never guess through the ear, and its evidence is far moro conclusive. Do your best to remember people by name, and, if possible, connect each name with some fact. A good memory is an assurance of genuine interest, and nothing is moro appreciated. , Don't wear your shabbiest and dullest clothes; drabness is as insulting as flaunting extravagance., Don't make any nromise unless yon are absolutely sure that you can keep it to the letter. Hide your note book and pencil, and never seem to be in a hurry; people littlo used to expressing themselves are bound to bo slow about it.
