Heading

In developing the heading, the learner may make each the subject of a paragraph;or if
necessary, he may make it the subject of several paragraph,each paragraph, how-ever,
dealing with a new phase or division of the heading,for the rules as to the unity and
cohorence of the paragraph must be carefully observed.

It is not necessary that each paragraph should suggest the following one, for such a
method of composition may tend to looseness of thought and encourage wandering from the
subject, but there must be some connection between succeeding paragraph, either by way
of explicit reference, or by continuity of thought.

If the writer observes these precautions he will easily attain thet "unity" which is
essential to a long composition, as it is to a single paragraph or to a sentence.

Where the length of the composition is limited, the leaner will often find it impossible
to treat adequately every phase of a wide subject. In that case he will often be called
on to compress his remarks judiciously, and it will be necessary for him to deal only
with such of the more important aspects as his time will permit.

Unimportant details must be wholly omitted, and the leaner must try to treat the different
part of the subject according to their relative importance.
