Soon after, Edwin's mother Eleanor became pregnant again, so Glover Boyd took a job at the Toronto Police Department. Edwin was enrolled in school in the 1921–22 year, but due to an incident there he did not remain for very long and during his first year of schooling his family had moved again. He then switched to Gledhill Public School to finish out the semester. In September 1923 Glover moved the family a few blocks north and Ed switched to Secord Public School for a brief period of time before being transferred back to Gledhill Public School.
