In her report Miss Beale says:

ISOLATION expressed by a combination
OF cold professionalism, hard-heart-
ed business methods, and yards of
red tape?
I'VE are professionals in our

have to use some of that substance
called by those who do not under

But our professional efforts are
made welcome by understanding,

clients and the public better by US
ing business methods, and a certain

Explaining that the organization
exists for the purpose Of helping
families solve problems they cannot
solve for themselves, Miss Beale
continues:

that it is best TO have both a pub
