505			_a"As the title suggests, The Bare Essentials covers only those points of gramma, usage, and mechanics that are indispensible to clear expository writing: organization of ideas, sentence structure, grammar, spelling, diction, and punctuation. This book teaches the basic skills, leaving the teacher free to supplement the text according to the special needs of the class or the specfic objectives of the course.
505			_aEach "essential" is presented in a discrete unit. A glance at the table of contents will show that we have arranged the units in what be called the "order of visibility" of composition errors - starting with spelling and ending with organzation and diction - but the instructors may introduce the units in any order. The chapters within a unit should, however, be recovered in the order in which they appear. " from Preface, pg. 5
