description: Miss Mary Numbers became the third principal at Clarke School for the Deaf, one of our premier American schools for teaching deaf children to speak. She recounts her memories of her years at the school in Northampton, Massachusetts. Miss Numbers could be quite severe in her day, so there are people still living, who remember having a Battle of Wills with Miss Numbers -- but all of those people became a success in their own lives and jobs, which can be taken as a tribute to Miss Numbers and her leadership.
