TO HONOR MOTHER
Flyer Reaches Hub City for
Ceremonies Planned
Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.


BOSTON, March 1.--Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh landed at the Boston airport
at 1888 am. today, after flight from
Schenectady. N. Y.
For once in his meteoric career since
transatlantic fame descended upon him
Col Lindbcrgh will not play the hero
on his visit to this city. That honor
will go to his mother, Mrs. Evangeline
Lodge Lindbergh. Detroit high school
teacher. whom the National Education
Association Is to reward for character
istics Of modesty and idealism and out
standing work In the teaching profess
sion" by a certificate of life member
ship and gold key.
The ceremony planned for tonight
will mark the high spot Of the asso-
cations convention here. and will be
witnessed by Mrs. Lindbcrgh's famous
son.
A force of $50 policemen were assem-
blcd at the airport ready to cope with
the crowd of Iindbergh admirers on the
second arrival of Americas premier
flyer in this city. His first visit on his
tour of the United States last Summer
saw one of the largest turnouts in local
history.
Mrs. Lindbergh New here last Sunday
in an Army airplanc from Detroit as a
regular delegate to the school conven-
ton.
Indications we're that not more than
10000 of the estimated 10000 delegates
to the educational meeting would be
able to squeeze their way into Mcchan-
les Hall tonight. and that few. If any.
others would be able to look on as Col.
Lindbergh sees his mother honorcd by
thousands of her associates. Only lucky
holders of tickets will be admitted.
