Abstract The exposure of pregnant guinea pigs to hyperthermia for 1 hr daily on 5 consecutive days produces learning deficits and reduced brain weight in the mature offspring, depending on the gestational age at which exposure took place. The offspring of those treated approximately one-third of the way through pregnancy (20–24 days) show significant deficits in learning performance, and reductions in whole and part brain weights. Those treated about two-thirds of the way through pregnancy...

Studies on height, weight and skinfolds in four anatomical regions have been made on groups of South African Black, Coloured, Indian, and White pupils of 17 years.

The social studies teacher in today’s elementary and secondary school is faced with a serious problem in attempting to determine the curriculum for a geography, cultures or history course: does one discuss each of the 145 or so independent states in the world, allowing only one hour of class period per country, or should particular attention be directed to certain nations? Of course, the latter is the only logical alternative. The problem remains, however, of how to select those states that will be examined in detail.
