Running Eyes And Nose: The highest rate of absence is among five- and six-year-olds, who are absent, on the average, more than one in every ten days (79,1950).
Parents can reduce absence because of communicable diseases by detecting the first signs—sore throat, sneezing, running eyes and nose, flushed face, cough—and keep'ig the child home from school. If he does come to school, the teacher should either send him home or, if the parents are at work, to a neighbor's house, or to an isolation room in school—or at least keep him six feet away from other children. Absence has been reduced when both children and teachers with colds stay at home.
Its hair is rather long, coarse, and black, but in typical forms the back from between the eyes to the base of the tail is blanketed with silver gray bordered by white, in strong contrast with the jet black of the limbs, face, and underparts. Some forms are entirely black, however, while in others only the top of the head is white. Like the skunk, the ratel has large, well-developed anal glands capable of ejecting at will a secretion that not only possesses a most objectional odor but has a burning effect when it comes in contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.
The eyes of a spider are usually near the front or anterior end of the head, but some are directly on top. They are single facets, hence are called simple eyes. They may number two, four, six, or eight; eight is the usual number. However, the cave spiders lack eyes entirely. Regardless of the number, the eyes are always placed in a definite arrangement. Often some pairs are much larger than others. |
