Boston teachers abroad may return to staff city schools
Dr. Franklin B. Dyer reports government aid may speed the return of roughly 50 Boston teachers from Europe by the opening of the school year on September 9. He notes 17 are already en route home and 20 have passage arranged, with about 1,000 teachers still overseas and substitutes limited to about 70. The plan centers on facilitating passage home and rapid replacement if needed, while cancellations by steamship lines cause delays.
