Educational Equity: The Integration of Equity into Preservice Teacher Education Programs.
MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. *Equal Education; Ethnic Groups; *Foundations of Education; Higher Education; Individual Differences; *Multicultural Education; *Nondiscriminatory Education; "Preservice Teacher Education; Program Development; Teaching Methods; Womens Education This volume of papers, written by professors of education, an administrator, and a clinical psychologist, illustrate how the concept of equity can be woven into the professional components of teacher education. In "A Matter of Linkage: Multicultural Education and Educational Equity," Martha E. Dawson maintains that multicultural education is an educational conglomerate with links to a number of equity issues. Patricia Bidol, in "A Preservice Model for Multicultural Education" and "Preservice Student Teaching Model for Multicultural Education," describes six phases for developing and testing a preservice model for multicultural education. Eugene F. Provenzo, Jr., lists brief statements and suggested lecture topics in educational equity for introductory education courses in his article, "Educational Equity and the Social Foundations of Education." "Cultural Diversity, Psychology, and Learning," by Roger L. Collins, acquaints the reader with some of the concepts of educational equity that relate to the study of educational psychology. Consuelo Nieto's article, "Multiculturalism and the Methodology of Teaching," outlines the general processes and content that can be adapted to any teacher preparation program that is incorporating multicultural and equity concepts into its curriculum. Brief bibliographies for further reading are appended to each paper. A section defining terminology related to multicultural education is included.

Freedom from External Evaluation.
MAEHR, MARTIN L., and STALLINGS, WILLIAM M. Freedom from External Evaluation. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1972, 43, 177-185. 2 studies were conducted in which the effects of internal and external evaluation on performand motivation were considered. A major finding was that Ss showed a continued interest in difficult tasks if they had worked on them under internal conditions. The continued interest in difficult tasks was apparently lessened by the external conditions. This effect was noted particularly in the case of high need achievement boys. Differences in performance levels under the 2 conditions were inconsistent, leading to the conclusion that the effect of the evaluation conditions on immediate performance may not be as profound and pervasive as common sense might suggest. Implications for theory as well as educational practice are discussed.
Effect of pretreatment with antibiotics on the hydrolysis of salicyluric acid in rabbit intestinal microorganisms.
The effect of pretreatment with antibiotics on the hydrolysis of salicyluric acid in rabbit intestinal microorganisms was investigated. Latamoxef sodium (LMOX, 25 mg/kg/d, intravenously) and cephalexin (CEX, 16.7 mg/kg/d, orally) were administered for 1 or 3 d. The blood concentration of salicyluric acid and salicylic acid following oral, intracecal and rectal administration of salicyluric acid was determined. By the pretreatment with LMOX for 1 or 3 d, the blood concentration of salicylic acid following oral administration of salicyluric acid was slightly decreased. In rabbits pretreated with CEX for 3 d, the blood concentration of salicylic acid was detected at low concentration. By the pretreatment with LMOX and CEX, however, the decrease in the blood concentration of salicylic acid following rectal administration of salicyluric acid was not observed. Although the examination of population of intestinal microorganisms induced by the pretreatment with antibiotics was not performed, the metabolic activity of intestinal microorganisms may be changed.
