Mr. Warriner - originally from Michigan, where his parents were educators - received his bachelor's degree in English at the University of Michigan and his master's at Harvard University.

He taught at the New Jersey Teachers College in Montclair in the early 1930's, then became an English teacher at Garden City High School in Garden City, L.I. He retired from teaching in 1962.

It was during World War II that a publisher's representative approached Mr. Warriner about revising a textbook that had been in use since 1898. Mr. Warriner instead offered his ideas for a new book. But when the publisher's timetable seemed indefinite, he took his ideas to Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.

The result was ''Warriner's Handbook of English,'' intended for grades 9 and 10. Books for the other grades followed.

''I had a theory about what a textbook should be,'' Mr. Warriner recalled years later, ''and we incorporated it into this book. The theory I've always gone on is that the teacher does the teaching. I mean by that the textbook is merely a record of what the teacher teaches; and the idea that a textbook can be lively and exciting and illustrated and full of pictures and sort of like a bulletin board - that's not what I want in my classes.''
