				(5) The greatest lateral circumference of the head just above the eyebrows and ears (over the frontal sinus ridge). The combined measurements, as above, of a large cranium will aggregate eighty-five linear inches, and of a small cranium eighty-one inches. Diametrical cranial measurements (through the head) when added together can likewise be used in comparing the relative sizes of craniums, the greater the total of such measurements the larger the brain, thus: (1) Length (front to back). (2) Breadth (just above the ears). (2) Height (from the orifice of the ear to the crown of the head).* These latter measurements in the aggregate will equal nineteen and one-quarter inches for a large head and seventeen and one-quarter for a small head. The average breadth of modern Caucasian male craniums measured just above the ears is six inches, five and one-half being small and six and one-half large. Stratton, in his "Mathematics of Phrenology," says that in measuring skulls by water measurement, he used a wooden cistern eight inches deep and ten inches square on the inside, one side of which contained a sheet of plate glass upon which was a scale arranged in inches and fractions thereof, zero being placed about five inches from the bottom of the cistern. He filled this with water up to zero and immersed the skull, crown downward, until the water reached the openings of the ears and the transverse sutures, the quantity of water displaced being indicated upon the scale in cubical measurements. In this manner he was able to ascertain the comparative sizes of both skulls and casts of skulls or of heads. *The height of the cranium can be ascertained by resting a book or flat ruler horizontally upon the crown of the head and measuring the distance between it and the orifice of the ear; while the breadth and length can be obtained by means of calipers.

UNESCO's Director-General highlights key role of education in poverty eradication

October 17, 2003 - Poverty presents a threat to world security that affects each and every one of us, says the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura in his message on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

Some three billion women and men live on less than two dollars a day. Eight million children die each year as a result of poverty. But poverty is not inevitable, Mr Matsuura added. More
