Why Children Are Absent: 5 The staff are all geared up to take some of the burden off the shoulders of the already overloaded education welfare officer. We try to find out why children are absent, and give advice about domestic problems involving children and their welfare. We organize the collection of welfare clothing parcels if mums have several small children and find it difficult to travel. When one mum was in the last weeks of pregnancy we organized an escort for her child to be taken for speech therapy at the local clinic. We also did this for a parent who would have lost her job if she had had to take time off to attend these sessions.
Oxides.—At the earth's surface the most common oxide is quartz, SiO2 (silica). In the oceanic portions of the crust it is abundant in the sedimentary cover of the ocean floor, but is virtually absent from the basaltic shell below the sediments. On the surface of the continents it is, after the feldspars, the most abundant mineral. In continental sediments quartz is the most common mineral, and it is also of frequent occurrence in metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks with more than SO per cent of silica. However, in depth quartz becomes gradually less common, until it also is absent in the deeper parts of the continents.
The majority of pet snakes must be fed rats and mice, and they should be given frequently to pet crows and magpies. It is advisable to keep a pair of rats or mice for breeding purposes only. Children should not be allowed to handle them or to make pets of them. It is usually an unhappy experience for a child to know that a pet is to be used as food for another pet. The wise thing is to feed when children are absent.
Rats and mice that are to be reared for food must be maintained as for pets (see chapter on mammals). When young are wanted for food only occasionally, the pairs should be allowed to breed only as food is needed.
Top minnows or mosquito fish are the species used to control mosquitos in abatement programs. They furnish excellent food for many small turtles, are prolific breeders, and are easily maintained. Once well established in an aquarium, they become a constant supply upon which to draw.
