ASKING QUESTIONS. o
The Art of Interrogation Should Be 1
Devoid of Impertinence.
“Do not ask questions” is the worst
piece of social advice which age can
give to youth. A man who never asks
questions is the dullest fellow in the \
world. He had better ask too many |
than too few. We can defend ourselves
against curiosity, but no armor avails
against indifference. We must resign
ourselves to be bored to death.
What is the secret of the art of in
terrogation? Putting aside quick sym
pathies, which lie at the root of every
social art, we believe the most essen
tial quality for those who would excel
in it is directness. The art of asking
questions so as to learn, instruct, please
and influence is not the art of beating
about the bush. The questions which
offend and silence are the questions
which suggest some ulterior motive. It
is a found out scheme which makes
men angry. Anything of the nature
of a trap keeps us on our guard. lif
we once fall into one we resolve it
ghall be the last time. Suspicion kills
confidence. Interrogative hints are ut
terly useless. The average man does
not dislike to be questioned. He hates
to be startled, crossed, interfered with,
reproached, wearied or befrayed. Ile
hates the questions which are not ask
ed with a simple intention. ;
There are questions which are asked
not because the asker wants to know,
but because he intends to tell. Others,
while ostensibly directed to find out a
man’'s opinion, are freally intended to
reflect upon his character. Some men
inquire as to their neigh®ors’ projects
in order to put difficulties in {heir way.
Strings of meaningless questions are
poured out by these who desire to pre
tend an interest in some subject which
they neither know nor care anything
about.
We believe the conclusion of the mat
ter to be this: The art of interrogation
is a serious branch of the social art.
Well asked questions are of the essence
of agreeable intercourse, but the in
terrogative mood will not justify an
impertinence, an interference, a verbal
assault—nor, for the matter of that, a
bore.—London Spectator.
The election for the state officers was
quictly pulled off here Wednesday., We
predict a much livelier time for the coun
ty election next Augwust. : |
